It's a clear kind of milestone or step on the way to AGI itself because it's a very sort of general purpose reasoning.

It's also a relatively gradable task.

Like you can tell, like in math or other things, if you get the answer right.

It's also something that our engineers are familiar with.

So it's a problem space that they understand and have good intuition for.

It's also a huge market, as you were saying.

It's also a market full of early adopters.

you know, technologists leaning into this.

It's also, you know, relatively sort of open and unregulated.

It's not like trying to go into health or something where, you know, there are all kinds of other things you have to do.

And so it's this aggregation of all of these interesting things that make coding a really interesting market.

And I haven't seen that data, but I totally believe it.

Oh, yeah.

And I think there's going to be so much value in democratizing coding out to the world.

There's like, what, 30 million developers or something worldwide, depending on how you define it.

Which is great.

That's a lot of people.

But imagine if a billion people can write code.

I was talking to somebody the other day who was just telling me they were, during COVID, they were working for their local county trying to get, you know, vaccinations and stuff out to people.

And they were trying to put together a website to track so people could sign up and just do basic stuff.
