Happy and productive, right? I mean, so that's the SAC overflow survey once again confirms this, right? Because people are unhappy because they're unproductive is another way to characterize the findings, right?

I mean, that has different meaning to different people. But, you know, yeah, I mean, I'm the CEO of a company and we have engineers. And so the way I think about it is.
