Just like at that time. So in 08, when I talked to them, I really had it in my head that I wanted to be a founder. And I'm super glad I did. I had some conversations, but came up with the idea for Rockmelt. And so Tim Howes and I, who was my co-founder, pursued Rockmelt. And then five years later, you know, Rockmelt went through our ups and downs. We were bought by Yahoo in 2013.

And then, you know, a year later, I joined Deathmark.

I did not. No.

I think, you know, Square, like a lot of firms, hires people quite early in their careers and like grows their own.

I can think of several little things that I would have done, but I don't know. We had, Early acquisition interest in Rockmelt. That was probably something that I should have leaned into more in retrospect. That's an example, and that would have been a very different. But in the scheme of things, looking back now, it's 2024. Would it have changed anything? Probably not.

This is the whole, what's that children's story about the horse rider and the soldier and the conscription? Have you heard this story? No. It's a really amazing story. The summary of it is it's like ancient China and there's a draft. And the first part of it is there's a family in rural China and they get a horse. This kid finds a horse. The villagers are like, oh my God, he's so lucky.

It's so lucky. It's so lucky. And the wise man is like, we'll see. And the kid's riding the horse and breaks his leg. And then the villagers are like, Oh my God, it's so unlucky. It's so unlucky. It's so unlucky. And the wise man is like, we'll see. And then there's a draft, a military draft.

It's so lucky. It's so lucky. And the wise man is like, we'll see. And the kid's riding the horse and breaks his leg. And then the villagers are like, Oh my God, it's so unlucky. It's so unlucky. It's so unlucky. And the wise man is like, we'll see. And then there's a draft, a military draft.

And the draft people come to this rural village and they draft everyone except the kid with the broken leg because he has a broken leg. And the villagers are like, we're so lucky. He's so lucky. And the wise man's like, we'll see. And so I say that because it relates to my Rockmount experience and kind of where we started, which is founding and building a company is really, really hard.
