your money and not wasting a lot of time in bureaucracy.

So I would love RAMP to be as self-driving as possible and for people not to have to log into RAMP at all.

I think that's right.

I would also add that there are indirect benefits of the models getting better that we benefit from ourselves as well.

And the accumulation of more artifacts and data about how customers are using our product every day and for what reasons.

This allows us to infer a lot of what their intent is from their actions and the way they decide to fill forms and what they approve and not approve.

So it's like the more our customers are using the product and deriving positive outcomes, the more we can learn.

And as those models get better about reasoning over like more complex tasks, we benefit from it either.

Very exciting place to be in.

There were some funny ones, but the most on-the-nose one was one of the early days of Paribus.

Eric and I were the only two people working on Paribus.

And Eric, while having studied a little bit of computer science, wasn't really a software engineer himself.

So 100% of the engineering capability of the company was just me.

And then I go on a random skiing trip one day and due to unfortunate circumstances, come back with a broken arm.

And I remember Eric looking at me and having that reaction like, oh, great, like we're fucked now.

What the hell are we going to do?

And luckily, we had started working with a few junior engineers around that time, and that was the first time that I was forced to try to get better at maybe delegating, managing, explaining concepts, explaining architecture and focusing less on the direct output that I can have myself.

and focusing a little bit more about how I can maximize the sum total of the output of the team as a whole.

And it was very constraining to do that without an arm.

I'm trying to type as much as I can with my left arm, but I need to be as specific as I can with as few words as possible and drawing diagrams and writing down some concepts.
