Is this important?
Because we've had databases forever, and we've always had user interfaces for databases, and this is just another user interface for a database.
It's like, okay, yeah, fair enough.
But on the other side of that, it's just like, this is now a much better interface to databases and one that 8 billion people are going to use and is going to be far easier to use and far more flexible.
And you're not just going to have old databases.
Now you have a system where people can actually understand why they want to build a million times more database apps than they have in the past.
And then the number of databases in the world exploded.
And so, again, this goes to this thing of building in layers.
Some of the smartest people in the industry look at any new challenge and they're like, okay, I need to build a new kind of application.
So the first thing I need to do is build a new programming language.
Right.
And then the next thing I need to do is build a new operating system.
Right.
And then the next thing I need to do is I need to build a new chip.
Right.
And they kind of want to reinvent everything.
And I've, I've always had, maybe it's just, I don't know, pragmatic mentality or something, or maybe an engineering over science mentality, but it's more like, no, you have just like all of this latent power in the existing systems and you don't want to be held back by their constraints.
But what you want to do is you want to kind of liberate that power and open it up.
And so I think, I think, and I think the web did that for those reasons.
And I think it's the same thing now that's happening.
