I mean, like the deepest aspects of system implementation, ones that are absolutely required for system correctness and liveness. And then you're able to oscillate back up to this really much broader view. I mean, we need to drop a link to RFD 63 in here.

but in terms of like, you know, just, so at the same time, you're kind of like in the, the kind of the deepest possible muck in the, the lowest levels of the system in terms of, of early boot, you're also like at the whiteboard in terms of conceiving of, of what the kind of the networking interfaces we want to have for customers and the way we kind of think of that problem. Um,

I mean, could you speak to that a little bit? Because I mean, just that ability to oscillate, I just feel is extraordinary. And it's been such an asset, I think to your teammates so many times over.

I know we go to this metaphor a lot, Adam, but I'm sorry. These are the Federalist Papers for Oxide. These early RFDs from Robert.

No, no, go ahead.

No, no, go ahead.

Yeah. I mean, no, that's a great answer. And I think it's, I mean, it is really, I mean, I, and I have always believed, I mean, Adam, you told me, this is like our, a unifying belief I would say across the company is that details really, really matter.

And that you, that if you want to understand things at the highest level of a system and understand how these big pieces go together, you really need to understand low level details in order to be, because if you don't, that's where you get these kinds of emergent behavior. that really runs contrary to the goals you have as a system. So I think it's really, really important.

But I mean, your ability to do it, Robert, has just been extraordinary. And the thing that I want to ask you about, because as you say, like, okay, it's early, so you're putting together the kind of, as our John Jay, you're putting together the Federalist Papers of Oxide. But we are then adding people to the company that are able to go and pick up pieces of that.

And you've always been, I think, terrific about really enabling other people to go pick up these pieces. I don't think anyone has ever felt like, oh God, I can't touch networking because I can't touch this aspect of the system. Because you're always like, no, no, please, someone, please come on in. Water's warm.

We'd love to help you, ramp you up and help you understand what I understand so you can go tackle this. Can you speak to that a little bit as well? Because I think that's part of what has been has enabled you to be so effective.
