A lot of code generation tools help you write the code to solve a problem. We sit upstream of that. Our goal is to help provide the context that you need. If you think about where you spend your time when you're trying to solve a new problem, understanding how that system works, why it was built that way, what are the ramifications of changing something?

That's the problem that Unblock tries to solve for you. We take the data and discussions of all of these, the source code and all those systems to provide that answer for you so that you can get that context and then you can go and write that code. We had this great example of a company who hires, you know, very competent developers.

It took them five days, that developer, five days to write 12 lines of code. And his feedback to us was, it's not that it takes you five days to write 12 lines of code. It took them five days to get the information that they needed to write those 12 lines of code. And that takes probably about 30 minutes to write those 12 lines of code and rip off that PR.
