perhaps an interesting place to begin i bet you don't expect this is for you to tell us a little bit about the phrase that you've talked about that's written on your wall in the office yeah for sure so in our wall in the sf office and we just did it in the new york office as well we have this quote it basically goes along the lines of there's no challenge that can't be overcome and there's no enemy that can't be defeated

And we just like it.

I think it really fits our culture.

People there are we have a very competitive team.

Everyone wants to win.

We have a lot of energy when we're trying to go out and build because it just feels like there's all this stuff happening in the industry.

Like we have such a strong team.

Let's just go and win.

motivated by, my dad told me this, I don't know if this is actually validated or not, at Huawei in China.

It's obviously a massive company, but they're known for just having like killer culture.

And they have some version of this written in Chinese, of course, in just big red letters across the back of the big hall.

So yeah, really like that.

It's kind of interesting.

Any time that someone walks in, it like stands out, the quote stands out.

Our whole view is that any space that's worth going after, like any large hot market, it's going to be competitive.

This is not really specific to AI, right?

If you think about Databricks versus Snowflake or RAM versus Brex.

And anytime there's these big, massive growth opportunities, people are rational.

They want to go after it.

So I think in this generation, it's just, I think it almost attracts like a specific demographic of founder and people that want to build because it is exciting.
