These are people that, the knowledge worker that understands data.

At Databricks, we have 10,000 employees.

About, you know, 3,000, 4,000 of them are in this category that they're quite technical, and GenieCode will help them.

But, you know, we have 5,000, 6,000 people that are sitting in marketing or in HR or in finance, and they don't have those technical skills.

Replit is excellent.

They love it, you

You know, it's just that these are people that would never otherwise even touch code, and they're now using Replit themselves, and they're building things that actually work.

And the best part of it is, you know, whenever you build a piece of software that works with Replit, it uses a database behind the scenes.

And actually, we have very deep partnership with them, so it uses our lake-based offering behind the scenes.

So it uses that database that we offer, which is perfect for these kind of agentic tools.

So I think Replit is really amazing for democratization to the broader masses, the people that you would never imagine would write a single line of code.

Hey, Ali.

Yeah.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Yeah, I knew you were going to ask.

Look, I don't think right now is the best time to be public, so I'm pretty happy to be private at this very moment, right, with everything that's going on in the markets.

We are really excited about what we can do with AI.

As you can see, we're doing all these acquisitions, we're investing, we're hiring people.

So we're focused on this long-term revolution that's happening with AI rather than having to be bogged down about EBITDA and what's happening in the market today.

So we will be public, but I don't think now is a very good time.
