Because whatever they're... Software developers, right?

You can't land a software developer in any organization and expect them to immediately become productive, right?

You have to go through training.

They have to familiarize themselves with the code base, whatever.

I think the same is going to be true for people taking advantage of agentic tooling, which is...

the agent lands in an organization and you have to build tooling, build documentation, whatever to make the agent effective.

The difference is with hiring humans, you hire one human and that's it.

You've got that one human doing it.

Once you've optimized your process within an organization for an agent to deliver things, you can copy the agent a million times.

You can spin up a hundred of them, a thousand of them.

So what we're doing internally is still

right now we're still very much in the we're building tooling that is like infrastructure tooling and command line tooling so that

both humans and agents can do more verification of does the software do what we expect it to do?

And how, if we have a customer issue that they're reporting, how do we reproduce that?

And then put it, roll it into a regression suite that gets rotated.

And then as that becomes more and more mature, what I want us to do is like to build agents that can run in a loop

to try and solve some of these problems.

Well, so for example, like the...

The thing I've told our engineers and I told, we had our QBR a few weeks ago with our executive team, quarterly business review.

And basically I told the execs, I was like, look, everybody inside the company has a superpower that people outside of InfluxDB do not have, which is they have access to the code base, the proprietary code base that we have that we sell our customers.
