And you just described like five approaches that seem absolutely worthwhile to go explore to improve how coding agents work.
what we have said is we explicitly are building amp for the people that do want to move.
And that's been so liberal.
If you look at that early adopter, the you know laggards, that chart of technology adoption, there's a reason why the early adopters are the tiny little start of the curve, you know, 3%.
And it feels like so many of these arguments are people saying, Well, what if we made a product that was for the early adopters, but somehow made the laggards also adopt it early?
Why aren't we going after that big market?
It's the vast majority of the area.
Under the curve.
And it's like because they fundamentally do not want what you are building.
And maybe they should, maybe they're going to realize that, but you're not going to make them realize it.
Or if you waste your time trying to make them realize it, you're going to be trounced by hopefully people like us that are only focused on the early adopters.
It's a total mindset shift.
And if you are just focused on building something for early adopters,
doctors and you literally do not care and you set up your entire business and product to not care, not have to care about the people that are laggards, you can do a much better job.
And that's what we're experiencing now.
Yeah.
It's wide open.
We think of it right now like if you're playing chess, you can play one board at a time, or the people in New York City, Central Park, who play against ten different tables at once and they go and they sit down in front of the table, they get oriented, and they make a move, and then they go.
And that's what we're trying to build.
And it turns out even if you've got a coding agent running in your editor in the C L I and then it makes a big diff, you've still got to understand it.
