And you can kind of tie back every individual's work to that, whether it's marketing, sales, engineering, all of it.

how did you think about that i mean it's fun you know talking about core competencies kirkland spending half a billion dollars to build their own ai tools my understanding is that building ai technology is not a core competency of that firm so i was surprised to see it now

I actually think this is good for Harvey because it's nothing like trying to do something yourself to make you realize, oh shit, this is actually really difficult.

This doesn't actually matter for us to have the in-house ability to build this ourselves.

Let's go and have someone who is an expert in this to go and build this for us.

That is my sense.

Would you agree with that?

I would disagree.

I'd pretty strongly disagree for a couple of things.

One, actually sticking with the Kirkland thing, I think as an example, we're so used to a world where moat in software was I know how to do this and you don't.

And so you're going to pay me because I have the engineers who know how to build this and you simply cannot.

The world going forward, there is going to be nothing that no one can build.

Every single piece of software anyone will, in theory, be able to build.

Now, back to the resource allocation, though, is it worth your time and your energy to go and build it?

Or should you go to someone else who has already built it or can do it faster?

To me, it kind of an example of this is like suppose we had a very busy day at work.

i could probably go and pick up lunch for everyone on the team i know how to do it i know how to walk out the door place an order hold the bags bring them in now just because i know how to do it is that an efficient use of my time probably not i'm probably going to say you know what for my resource allocation i'm going to pay someone to go and do that for us because at factory our core competency is not that the ceo goes and gets lunch for everyone

And I think it's somewhat similar here, which is like just because you can build a lot of these things does not mean you should.

And in fact, oftentimes you want to be really ruthless about what are the few things that you and your team own and do end to end.

And then if it's not relevant to your core business and your core competencies, outsource it.
