Yeah, please do.
You know, I think with all this stuff, it's nuanced details matter.
If you look over the last 10 years, I'd say what's happened is the amount of engineering talent we had at the firm grew materially on a relative basis to operational talent or client talent.
There are a variety of things that happened because of the pandemic that bloated or inflated hiring across all large enterprises.
And so if you say, since ChatGPT,
like if you take 2022 is that was like the high watermark of the bloat.
This is the problem.
The high watermark of the bloat.
Absolutely.
So, so if,
You asked me a question and I'm like, okay, 2022.
Yes, but that's the wrong starting point.
Because if you look at 2022, a bunch of what we've done from 2022 to 2025, and now in 2026, was correcting the stupid things that we did in 2020 and 2021.
And so I think you've got to look at it through a 10-year lens.
And what I would say is at this point,
If you look at a 10-year lens, it shifted to more heavily weighted engineering.
My guess is that's going to shift differently going forward, given the power of these tools and our ability to code.
And you're going to see nuanced changes that probably to some degree reduce the number of people that we start with.
over the next few years, but probably not what you and I would call dramatically.
So I don't want to be predictive because if I throw out a number, I'll hear everybody's going to start holding me to the number.
