And I think that really genuinely is true.

That is where we're at today, that you can be that much more effective by partnering with AI rather than assuming that it's just going to do all the work for you or just that somebody else is going to do the work.

So the gist of it, I agree with.

I think at the same time, the amount of money raises my eyebrows.

What I'd say is you've seen more the concept of agents controlling other agents.

It used to be this is an agent that is standalone.

It can do many things.

I think what we've seen is smaller but more agents along with some sort of master control agent on top of that.

And that's what I think we'll continue to see more of.

Yeah, and we've already done it, and we will continue to do it.

You did phase someone out already?

Absolutely.

And I think that is the world that we're in today, where a vendor needs to set themselves apart from a generic LLM, because if a generic LLM can replace them, they're not differentiated.

And if they're not differentiated, we can just do it ourselves.

All right, good point.

So part of the inspiration for that post was where a TPM on my team came to me and said, can I have a cursor license?

This is someone who has never written a line of code in their life.

And that really stopped to have me think of we can really empower the whole team.

Everybody can augment themselves regardless of their role, regardless of how technical it might be.

Engineers, it's a more obvious use case, but where you've got folks who aren't used to writing code, who are adopting, I'm going to go build a thing to make my life easier.
