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.
And the whole world was busy and they couldn't do it.
They couldn't create a website.
They didn't have the skills to do it.
And as a result, they were managing things less efficiently, doing a bunch of manual work at a time when everybody was slammed.

It would have just worked.
And, you know, they would have been able to do their work more effectively.
