So we're seeing that at the level of these individuals.
And then, by the way, what you see kind of inside companies, inside employers of these individuals is, of course, these people are now in even more demand than they were before.
They are garnering higher salaries than they were before.
And then, by the way, their productivity is just starting to ramp up, right?
Like everything that I'm describing and like, you know,
At our leading-edge companies, estimates are the leading-edge programmers are like 20x more productive than they were a year ago.
It's like the most dramatic increase in programmer productivity ever.
And so, again, logically, people get paid according to their marginal productivity, and you're also seeing that track in the compensation data.
I'm seeing that on the ground in the companies, which is the more hyper-productive a coder becomes, all of a sudden, the more bargaining power that they have for their compensation.
We're seeing a comp for those people ramp up quickly.
And so it's just kind of staring us in the face.
And coding, of course, coding is like the first domain in which this has happened.
Now people want to project forward and say this is going to happen in every area of knowledge work.
And then I think you can predict a similar outcome.
And then that gets us to the bloat topic, which is, of course, the other thing that's happening is, of course, companies announcing big layoffs.
And then, you know, of course, immediately it's like, you know, two plus two must equal four.
And so if it's AI coding, it must therefore translate into layoffs.
And, you know, Mark, you're wrong.
You know, therefore, all of your ideas are wrong because that's evidence that, you know, these companies are wiping out their employees.
you know, they're reducing their workforces or really nuking them because of AI coding.
