They're picking low margins or zero margins, in some cases, just to get the customers, to get the relationship, to get the real estate.

And so it's a strategy.

If you've got capital, you're going to own the real estate.

And then you're going to go back later and get the margins built into the business.

Well, it's just a strategy.

I would not invest in people that build a culture around that idea of low margin.

Now, that's why I probably lost out on investing in Amazon because I just didn't...

You know, I didn't buy into Bezos' idea that your margin's my opportunity.

In groceries and books and things, yeah, he's right.

In compute, he was absolutely right.

And he scaled it in a different way.

But most people aren't thinking like Jeff Bezos in that regard.

I believe that you need to build a culture that works.

And if you don't want to give all your company away to venture capitalists, you might think about monetizing and generating margin, effective margin.

And you can be clever about it.

If I talk about the sandbox example, the newest thing is, you know, most sandbox people make money on compute.

Frankly, that's a dumb idea, in my opinion.

You want to have a model that says bring your own compute and we'll make money because we understand how to run sandboxes better.

We know how to network them better.

We know how to provide traces better.
