Are you, do you, when you're kind of in a new subsystem like that, trying to ramp up on it, are you like writing down questions that you're trying to answer?

Yeah, that's really interesting because I mean, all three of us were TAs as undergraduates. It's very formative for all of us. And yeah, I mean, this is not a deep thought and anyone who's taught knows this, but boy, when you teach something, you have to learn it with a whole different level of mastery. It's not...

Um, like you even, you can even do well in the course and then you go to TA and you're like, Oh my God, how did I even like pass this thing? I barely like, I, I really, I'm learning so much more because when people ask you, sometimes when people will ask you a question and you'll give an answer, well, they'll be like, Oh yeah, that's like a convincing answer.

And you're like, that is not a commitment. Like you are convinced by this answer because you don't actually, you're asking me the question because you don't actually know, but I actually know the limitation of my own knowledge and I have not given you a very good answer actually. And I actually need to go research that because I'm not, So that's interesting.

And then, Robert, I also think it's interesting that you mentioned the block comment that actually gets... Because, I mean, your block comments are... I mean, Nepu's Ultra. The ASCII art in your block comments is the stuff of legend.

And I say this as someone who prides himself on his own ASCII art in my own block comments, but... Honestly, it's mostly just because I don't... If I don't do it, I'm going to forget it all.

Uh, well, the number of times we often talk about past Robert around here and you will be like, we'll have a question. You're like, God, I don't know. I'm like, actually past Robert knows the answer to that question. I actually know that. And then like, fortunately past me wrote this down. I have heard you say that so many times over our shared career.

And, um, but it's so, cause you mentioned that like when you're stuck, write a debugging, write debugging tooling. I definitely agree with that. But when you're stuck, you also write the, the,

Robert's cursive is remarkable. It's fair to say. It gives me great... Robert, there have been times when I have asked you to go back and read your own cursive, and even you can struggle. It is beautiful, but it's just like... It's got this very... Obviously, you've seen plenty of Robert's cursive. I feel like I'm reading a letter that Alexander Hamilton wrote to me. You know what I mean?

It's got like, it's got that kind of like 18th century vibe to it, which is like, I, this is, it's gorgeous, but I just can't make it out. So, Robert, this was all, I mean, kind of as the years go by at Joy-In, I mean, you're going into, like, kind of rappelling down into deeper and deeper caverns.
