depends on how you define it, right?

I think um engineers feel much more comfortable in IDE than non-engineers.

And as we get to more agentic environments, perhaps that's a different vibe.

But still I think most people feel like uh an ID or cloud code, if they're not engineers, they feel like that's not made for them.

And I think that with the platform we have and the visual metaphor, the opportunity for freeform exploration and ideation on an infinite canvas and being able to try out lots of things and then also see the big picture of what are the different paths I can go down.

That is a a metaphor that I think works for a lot more people.

And in that sense, as we tie make in even further than just okay, I can copy a state and put it in Figma Design and tweak it, that's what we launched today.

But there's so much further we can go.

And the further you go, the more you're able to then I think bring more people into this sort of surface.

So in that case, you know, it's it's just like we're trying to race against ourselves.

I think um, you know, if you evaluate make as it launched, we race towards launch, you know, is prompt to code and not a lot around that, not a lot of integration with the Fuma platform.

Then sure, there's a million other tools and more coming every day that you can evaluate against.

But I don't know if that's the right way for us to think about it.

I was um listening to the Brett episode you did, and he had this one line that's just stuck with me, which is he was talking about uh, you know, do you wanna resell coffee beans as roasted coffee beans?

Or do you wanna like go make the amazing like special latte?

Obviously, I want to make a special latte.

Yeah, everyone does.

But like how can you make something that is uh unique and plays the needs of designers and uh does that in a way where we can really bring advantage uh to people?

And I think there's so much we can do there.
