do this on my own in my garage.

I'm going to put it on the internet as an open source project.

And we're all going to circle jerk about how novel and cool and high performance this technique is.

Because at the end of the day, that's not how you have a large impact.

Having a large impact means engaging with the people who are going to be able to get that into schools, the large software and hardware systems into policy.

I think if you're driven more by wanting to make an impact than wanting to be outside of the box, you will naturally end up where I am.

There's a lot of people like me.

I don't think that's all that unique to me.

That's actually a really good analog for what we did with Oculus, too.

I mean, we spent a ton of time engaging with the press, engaging with game developers, engaging with computing companies, because we were trying to shape the way that this technology would be received.

And we were trying to tell them, here's what we think the world should look like.

And it wasn't always easy.

Andrel's been doing a lot of the same things.

I mean, I hate to admit this, but Andrel, when we started...

In the first few months, we hired more lawyers and lobbyists than engineers.

That's not the case anymore, obviously.

That was, I think, because we were actually more concerned about the shaping of the institution's side and compliance with the institution's side than the building of technology side.

We felt good on the engineering side.

We're gonna be fine.

We knew we were gonna build Lattice.
