Because I think if you want to wait until you get praised all the time, you're missing a bunch of the time when you could have learned a bunch of useful stuff and then incorporated that into the next version you were going to ship.

Well, I would like to hope that it's not damaging to the brand, but... Well, but innately it is.

Yeah, I don't want to overstate it. I mean, we don't ship things that we think are bad, but we also don't take... We want to make sure that we're shipping things that... that are kind of early enough that we can get good feedback to see what they're going to be most used for.

Like, I think a lot of the AI stuff that we're building now, for example, it actually, you know, it's pretty clear that AI is going to be transformative for a lot of different things. It is actually less clear what are going to be the initial use cases for a lot of these things that are super valuable.

And so, okay, part of it is like, okay, you put something out, you want to kind of collect feedback and what people are actually, what it's, you know, where it's resonating. Now, if If what you put out is bad, then you're not going to collect good data because people aren't going to use it for anything because it sucks.

But I do think that you have hypotheses for what people might really want to use it for. And they're not all going to be right. And you want to kind of go early enough on that as more, yeah.

Does it have to be one or the other? I mean, I think it's a combination. I think you're basically taking some kind of values, either kind of like values that you have or a value for something that you believe should exist in the world and trying to build something that's aligned with that while trying to match it up with what is going to resonate the most with people.

I think if you just do the latter, then I think you just don't have enough conviction to see through hard things. And if you just do the former, then you probably don't get to product market fit or optimize what you do because you're not focused enough on your customers. So I think both probably matter. Yeah.

I mean, I think that there's There's certainly a lot of things that we've invented or created for the first time. I mean, in 2006, when we built the first version of News Feed, before that, social networks were basically profiles. And then we were like, hey, people actually kind of want to get the updates. And let's show them that. And if we rank them, then we can.

There's so many updates that this can help people parse through that quickly. And today, it's hard to imagine any social product without a feed. So I think that that's obviously there. Some of these things are sort of seminal. I don't want to call it an invention, but like patterns that we basically established first.
