And, you know, I mean, we have Steve LeMay, whose name we can't remember, and Sebastian DeWitt, whose name I can't pronounce.

So it's two people.

It's two people that we know about, but like...

Things seem to be moving in the right direction.

Obviously, we won't see the results of any of the stuff for a long time, so jury's still out, but this is encouraging news.

And yes, Marco did hoist up the Halide developer hiring up to the top, but there's a little bit more to the story.

Yeah, so that's an interesting breakdown of, like, who that is not technically in charge of design has influence.

And it makes sense that, like, you know, Ternus would, because he's the hardware guy, would be able to give his two cents on any hardware design stuff.

And Federighi, being in charge of software, would have his opinions about software.

And then Joswiak, because he's marketing, would say, you know, I want everything to be teddy bears because people love teddy bears, right?

It doesn't seem like, you know.

That doesn't sound like him.

But anyway, it was like sort of cross-cutting concerns.

So like the old way this was where the CEO was, you know, the entire company was run off the taste of the CEO.

There's pluses and minuses to that system.

Obviously, the minuses were you get stitched leather, but the pluses was that Steve Jobs had a pretty good batting average.

And there's one thing Steve Jobs did not lack, which was opinions.

He knew what he wanted, whether he, what he wanted was good or not.

There was no dilly dallying and no real committees.
