What contributions?

We're not doing contributions.

And James is like shaking my hand and he's just talking to me like we're friends because the thing is I have been working with the Puppet Labs team through like open source contributing to Puppet.

And so we get up there and, you know, my manager's like, hey, let's show him our setup.

I was like, all right, James, we have a lot of Puppet manifests over here.

I'm using external node classifiers.

I'm setting up brand and config from data.

And I read Mark Burris' promise theory and got it all dialed in.

But from an interface perspective, I just didn't want everyone to have to learn Puppet.

So we hooked it up to Jerry.

I'm showing him this entire workflow.

And he's just sitting there like...

Yeah, I have no recommendations at all.

Like, this is amazing.

And here's the thing that kind of the game changer.

So he came all the way to Atlanta.

We're 45 minutes from the airport.

He spent time with our team.

And it's the end of the day.

And then he's on the way out.
