And then I think that's a great spot where you can go back and forth because sometimes as you build it out, you realize that actually there's more to explore and define on the design side.
So use the best tool for the job.
But I think don't be tunnel vision about there's one direction and that's the only thing that can work.
That's where you'll fall into traps.
I mean, I think we're seeing growth kind of across the board right now, and we're very thankful for that.
But our eyes are always on the future.
And the same things that I've said when I've been here in the past and
I think have become their own memes around design being the differentiator and design as the layer above code as code commoditizes more and more.
Design is, I think, increasingly the battleground.
This is where everyone is going to really duke it out to figure out what the direction is that they should explore and what they should go build.
And we need to build for that world, a world where design representations, code representations can live together and a world where, you know, you don't have to make these false tradeoffs between direct manipulation and AI or, you know, being able to explore broadly or make fast progress.
Like both is the answer.
And so that's what we're really building for right now.
Good to see you all.
And we'll talk to you soon.
It's funny. I can remember where we were the last time we had a conversation for just the podcast versus the last time we had a conversation. And I remember being in this like rental house with my wife and some of our friends, and it was like total lockdown. I remember around the same time, NFTs were just starting to take off if you were paying attention to them.
I think we're pretty excited about the metaverse. Crypto bull cycle is just starting again. And we're all trying to figure out what COVID would do to the world and how that would change things and what the decade of the 20s would be like. And I feel like now we're like midway through that decade. Yeah.
There was some tweet, I think Scott Belsky read it, and he was saying, I think that the 2020s will be like the roaring 20s. There was this period with COVID bubble in the public markets that everyone thought that might be the case. And then I feel like maybe we didn't think it was the case.
And certainly it feels like we're back in some strange bullish cycle right now, both with regards to public equities and tech in general and what people are willing to support and bet on. If you look at technology broadly, it feels like there's a lot of optimism about doing hard things right now.
And perhaps that's sort of on the back of all this progress with AI and folks knowing now that the predictions from not just 10 years ago, but like 30 years ago are pretty correct down to a T. Kurtzweil is right. Yeah. It's wild how some of these essays from like early 90s got it right on the money.
