What will be the analog for agents, if anything at all?

I don't know.

John, what do you think?

Really interesting.

But do you guys, is it an instinct problem then in terms of raising the ceiling?

Or is it a tooling problem?

Or is it both?

Because if you said, you know, John, you said that the brain isn't quite shaped the right way, you know, but we also have a tooling gap.

So how much of it is instinct?

How much of it is tools?

Really interesting.

John, do you view instinct versus tooling?

Yeah, it's really, really interesting.

And one of the things I believe, you know, Paul and I have spoken about this, John, is that we're going to have a lot more products with small but still compelling markets.

You know, the million-dollar TAM products, the $100,000 TAM products, because they were economically infeasible before.

So we can sort of imagine a world where it's more of a digital Main Street that can, or a digital homesteading that can support a product that may have smaller scale, but be more opinionated and be that last 10%.

Yeah, I love that.

Actually, Don, this is a good moment too.

I want to read a quote.

This is you, Forbes 2010, which is, the software industry is poised to embrace its craft heritage.
