Have you seen anything that actually automates some aspects of that?
I know that there have been um
some versions of things where people, for example, are trying to generate market research by having a series of bots kind of react in real time.
And that that almost forms your market or your user base as a simulated environment of users.
Have you seen any tool like that work or take off or do you think that's coming or do you think that's too hard to do?
Yeah.
I think that's like old school Silicon Valley, even.
Like if you if if you look at uh Gates or Steve Jobs slash Wozniak or a lot of the really early pioneers of the semiconductor, computer, um, early internet era, they're all highly technical.
Yeah.
And so I almost feel like we kind of lost that for a little bit of time and now it's it's very clear that uh you need technical leaders for technology companies.
It's an interesting point because when I look at the biggest mobile apps, they were all started by engineers.
So WhatsApp was started by an engineer, Instagram was started by an engineer.
I think Travis at Uber was technical-ish.
Technically adjacent.
Um and Stakarda Puerva was an engineer at Amazon.
Yeah, it's super interesting.
What what other characteristics do you think are are common?
I mean I know um people have been talking about, for example, uh it almost felt like there was an era where being hardworking was kind of poo-pooed.
Or do you think founders have to work hard?
Do you think people who succeed were I'm just sort of curious, like uh aggression, uh hours work, like what else may correlate or not correlate in your mind?
