And then the other thing, you know, that's sort of macro data.
And then there's the micro data, which is the world we live in.
And the micro data is, you know, that sort of obvious question is, you know, if you live in Silicon Valley or work in San Francisco, you undoubtedly have friends who are, you know, computer programmers.
Those friends, you know, some percentage of those friends are early adopters of AI coding.
You know, you can just observe their behavior.
And, of course, if you believe in the, you know, kind of the Luddite, you know, kind of zero-sum argument, you would expect that they would be working less and less and then rapidly becoming, you know, getting paid less and less, by the way.
and rapidly becoming unemployed.
And in fact, the observed behavior of what's happening is very clear, which is the opposite, which is those people are becoming what we now refer to as AI vampires, by which I mean the individual programmer's productivity.
An individual programmer uses Codex or Cloud Code or one of these AI coding systems
Just the thing that you just now see over and over again on the ground level is they're working harder than ever.
They're working just like more hours than ever.
And then the AI vampire thing is literally this thing where they stop sleeping.
And then when you like talk to them, it's actually really funny because they're like – and I have a whole bunch of friends like this.
They're bleary – like they've got these huge bags under their eyes.
They're completely exhausted.
But they're like euphoric.
They're thrilled.
They're having the absolute time of their life.
By the way, a fair number of people who we both know, literally they're former programmers who stopped coding at one point and then all of a sudden have picked it back up again.
Actually, we have partners.
