Like when I, when, when we started doing the show, I was trying to use the V1 of Replit.

I could not finish an application.

It almost blew up on social media.

You might remember, right?

It was unfinishable and it just wasn't there.

And one of the founders of a competitor called me up and said, none of us are there in the industry.

None of us are there.

Over the holidays, for fun, I built an incredibly complicated game.

I've never built a game in my life.

I built a startup simulator that simulates everything from going through YC to IPOing to controlling all the global power and GPUs and tokens in the world.

People love this game.

And what's interesting isn't that I built it, it's that it works.

Nothing worked at $2 billion, $2.5 billion, whatever the round was.

Nothing worked.

And the joke was all over the internet.

Everyone's got a project they 80% finished in Loveable the Replit.

Everybody did.

They couldn't finish it.

And it was a joke because they thought they 80% finished it, but there was no chance to go from $8,800.

Literally, I built...
