Once you flip the switch and start building a staff team, I think you're better off just having a professional staff team. And that's what we did in the beginning of this year. And now the service is super stable. With a capable staff team, you're much better positioned to solve problems in a very robust way.
It's mostly the team, the team that puts max effort into the opportunities that the world presents to us. That's how I think. And I read this in a book that's called Wooden Leadership. It's like a very old book about basketball. But that's how I think about the team and the people I work with. Life is too short to work with people who lack passion or not talented in any way.

There are a few folks that are not here on the team anymore that I wish I had not hired. I wish things went somewhat differently. Everything that we do and it worked, I wish we had started sooner. And I wish we had started the Gen AI effort sooner as well. Generally, I think that's another thing that I learned from that Woodham Leadership book. The team who makes most mistakes usually wins.

I think we're living through a transition today of software. That transition is driven by AI, by large language models. While Nian is an incredibly useful database service, I think the future is a lot more in a platform and in the agentic space. In the future, I strongly believe, A, we're going to have a billion developers.

So right now we have 20 million professional developers and another 80 million or so tech people, product managers, designers, sales engineers, whatnot. And we're going to have a billion developers. The other thing that I strongly believe in is that each of us will have a bunch of agents that are running around the Internet doing tasks for us.

And it's the amount of information that and like various accounts that we have on the Internet is like absurd. Right. And especially those who have kids. I do.
