So that's a huge advance right there.

And then secondly from that, what John was saying earlier about how as programmer productivity has increased, we've had the need for more programmers.

The reason why that's happened is as making software has gotten cheaper,

More people have employed it to solve problems that weren't worth doing when it was really expensive.

But when it got dramatically cheaper, some of those problems became worth doing with software.

And now you have a, you know, a status board and a show bot.

And the reason, or a, a, a tier list maker rather.

And the reason why is because we like now things that were never worth making before might be worth making.

Many of them will be worth making.

So first of all, that's great for basically every business and every hobby is like, cause we can just make stuff now.

And as programmers, uh,

I don't know a single programmer who loves this craft who doesn't have a bunch of ideas they're never going to get to.

Now you can get to a bunch of them.

And that can be entire products.

It can be little things that just help you.

Or it can be like, you know, the kind of side apps that help you do your other stuff.

I know our friend underscore David Smith wrote about it recently on Mastodon, how he's made side apps to help his business grow.

Like admin control things or tools.

Yeah, or just things to kind of help automate something that like no one else but you is going to need this, but you need it.

You know, I have tools like that.
