It took me six and a half minutes.

Like I am a technology investor.

So yeah, it's just not built for that.

And I think the more I talk to people, the more I realized that that experience is broken and the opportunity here is to kind of build that again.

So I think it's really important because it has very important information.

What I just said, like my compensation information, my benefits, those are critical.

But like navigating that is extremely hard and I've never met anyone that likes it.

Yeah, I mean, the obvious answer to the platform shift we're seeing now is, you know, kind of the shift from businesses that weren't AI native to businesses that are.

That's the opportunity here.

I actually love the Workday story.

Like, it was, you know, a crazy...

uh, kind of hostile takeover of PeopleSoft, you know, there's Larry Ellison, these, you know, these amazing entrepreneurs and Dave Duffield and then he was, uh, I'm going to script his last name, um, but, um, you, you, you see them come back and say, Hey, we see this shift.

Like we just lost our baby.

We know exactly what to build.

We know all of the edge cases that you need to solve for.

And solving for that in 2005 was actually a heck of a lot

You know, it's still really hard, but it's even harder back then, just considering how hard it was to build software.

And so I think these guys are amazing entrepreneurs.

They saw this opportunity and they built the cloud native version of what they had just built at PeopleSoft.

And so they were the perfect founding team.
