Let's focus on the parts that are great and use those to refactor the other parts. So as opposed to saying, now for something entirely new, we're returning to the central roots of our greatness and then refactoring the other ones. And that's actually, I think, a good change.

And the intentionality can be not hiring as fast as Uber did. So with like Workday and Anil Bhusri, it was he and his co-founder, Dave Duffield, did a cultural interview at the end, even though he's being the CEO, did a cultural interview at the end of every hiring process for the first 500 people.
