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.
We knew we were gonna build these products on top of it.
What we were most concerned about was getting people in DOD and the political side
to believe in what we were doing, to believe that cost plus contracting was broken, to believe that a small player could be a large player in the space if given the chance.
Obviously, it's worked out pretty well, but I think Anduril probably has done just as much on the government relations and institutional engagement side as we have on the tech side in terms of what contributed to our success.
I think you need to think about existing systems in terms of the institutions and the people and the traditions and the politics, yes.
The technology, probably no.
