And it's never quite what you're looking for. And if you are deciding to run your own model and do inference on it, you might find your GPU is in a region across the country or it's on a cloud provider that's different than the one you're using. or your cloud provider can do it, but it's twice the price of another one you can get.

And this leads to people ending up far more in sort of multi-cloud environments than they do in sort of traditional software. And so Tailscale actually is very useful there. So for users, I think it's a great fit. But what does the product actually need as like new features to support that? And the answer is, it actually is really great as it is today for that.

Yeah, I think that's right. I mean, there are, we came up with some proposals, but they're not exciting. Like they're, they would be very much, we'd be doing it because, you know, corporate in an, you know, at headquarters told us to find an angle for AI or something like that. And like, you know, we, we as a startup have the option of just not doing that. And so we didn't. So, yeah.

That's great. I didn't know we'd be talking about Tailscale at all when I came here today. So we're both basically on the same page. Yeah, there we go.

Maybe what I'll do is I'll put something new above it and I'll make it clearer. I don't want to mislead anyone. Yeah.

Fair enough. I also honestly don't check LinkedIn very often. It's not a big part of my life.

That's totally great. I'm very happy about that.

Well, thank you.
Well, thank you.
I mean, I love boring software. And so for me, the fact that you're having a boring experience is perfect. Yeah, man. No surprises. No surprises. Yeah. It's a product that's designed to enable you to do more things, not for you to spend your days having to configure it.

Yeah, if you come up with anything, let me know. I'm very excited about the idea of it. But software has to be, in some sense, true to itself. You have to think about its purpose when you're working on it and not step too far outside that. So I similarly wouldn't build a computer game in a tail scale. I don't think that would be a particularly good fit for a product. It's like an Easter egg.
