He was an incredible typographer, mathematician.

So tech was a miracle in the combination of function and form.

So when I saw Impeccable, not to embarrass Paul, I was like, whoa, this is like the postscript moment.

Someone actually gets that it's not just filters, it's also about subtraction.

And it was all the different dimensions a designer might take.

And then I saw a really skilled engineer designer, and that got me excited.

That's tremendous.

That's so cool.

Maybe, John, talk a bit about how you guys are planning to work together.

Oh, well, I'm super excited because I recently picked up all of GitHub Design.

And great timing because we were launching this GitHub Copilot app that's already in GA.

And it is different than things we built in the past in that, as you know, the craft bar is very high now for applications.

So we wanted to set the bar with this app.

And when the head of product, Mario, said, hey, do you know this impeccable thing?

And I was like, oh my gosh, it's one of my favorite skills.

And so I reached out to Paul, and Paul said, hey, oh my gosh, you know, we kind of maybe we know each other.

And so we had this wonderful conversation by Tex.

And since then, a few weeks later, Paul is going to be the first one to be in our integrations of this powerful design skill, because we believe that design is important in the digital, what do you call it, harness age.

I think Paul has the best implementation of it.

Well, as Paul was describing, I think we're in this era, because you can see all the new model companies that are building designer models or visual design models, whatever.
