But forcing people into the office feels to me like a forced dress code. And it feels to me like the forced dress code that people were bucking when you were at Kyle Walsh Rock and were like, wow, this is great because it's like a dressed-down law firm. It feels to me like that. What's your take on how a distributed work is going to affect the future of Silicon Valley?

So, and I personally wonder if it's going to be, I mean, ironically, Silicon Valley companies leading the charge on that kind of flexible approach, because I, and maybe not, maybe it'll be, you'll see that happen elsewhere, but you, but that requires a kind of cultural creativity and flexibility that the, I mean, cause you know, interestingly to me, the company that's not RTO is NVIDIA.

So it's like there, I think that there is, um, People would assume that, boy, if people can work from anywhere, Silicon Valley will become nothing. But Silicon Valley already was metaphorical, really.

So it is, is it, is it somewhat sort of, sort of, there you go. It works sort of, which is just like that to me, uh, is like, it works sort of is, should be the motto of Silicon Valley, not move fast and break things. It's, it works sort of, which is, uh, kind of where Silicon Valley kind of permanently finds itself. But, uh,
