Yeah, oh yeah, there's a bug in multiprocessing.

Let someone else decide whether that's important to solve or not.

I'll stick to typing in the async IO and the faster interpreter.

So Dropbox is much smaller than the other two in your list.

Yeah.

So that is a big difference.

Smaller code base.

Yeah.

And Dropbox sort of, at least during the time I was there, had the tendency of sort of

Making a big plan, putting the whole company behind that plan for a year, and then evaluate, and then suddenly find that everything was wrong about the plan, and then they had to do something completely different.

And so there was like...

The annual engineering reorg was sort of an unpleasant tradition at Dropbox because like, oh, there's a new VP of engineering.

And so now all the directors are being reshuffled and this guy was in charge of infrastructure one year and the next year he was made in charge of, I don't know, product development.

A lot of internal sort of hand-wringing about things like that.

But the product itself always worked very smoothly.

Yeah.

And the money will come.

It's pretty interesting to see.

That's like why I joined Microsoft.

I mean, after retiring and thinking that I would stay retired for the rest of my life, which, of course, was a ridiculous thought.
