It's very smart, I think, because you're so comfortable in the Rails world. I think it's smart because, yeah, Rails is mature enough that there are several opportunities out there just sort of waiting in a way. And, you know, you could be a friend. You can bring something to it. You can give something new life. You can have somebody get liquidity out or some sort of exit that might make sense.

You can satisfy the existing customer base. You can bring it into the fold and grow it more and bigger. If we go back to the hub and spoke idea, I think, and I don't know exactly how far you go in to begin to decide which really is your hub, but if you can start to surround this hub with various things that make the compliment possible,

you know, this thesis, this idea of like, enjoy what you do, enjoy the process, create enough revenue to support other people, bring them in, everybody wins, and you just kind of rinse and repeat. I think the question Jared's asking is like, at one point, can you exit that?

And I think if you're enjoying it for the next 12 years, there's an obvious exit that can come about if you're building value. So I don't really, I personally wouldn't care that much or concern that much. With the exit strategy, they do say every time you enter into a business or a room that you should, you know, Jason Bourne it, you should plan your exit, right?

You should never go into something that, and you don't have some sort of like fail safe or what if this went to zero or exit strategy. I mean, it is smart. But I think if you're comfortable with this Rails model and this is only Rails SaaS apps, it would be kind of not so much easy necessarily, but you can see a clear path in terms of the word easy being applied.

You can see a clear path that even the code base is getting refactored the same way or having similarities across them or services that you're buying once or you have one relationship then benefit the whole entire pool. That's why I like the lily pad analogy.

Predictability is good too, though. I mean, you're trying to do a lot. Your footprint gets wider. I think... Back to the lily pad's idea is that really it's predictability. Yes. Right? Why are we going to go back to the lily pad again? Well, because I think when you judge where you jump, you think predictability is assurance that it doesn't go underwater.
