Um maybe it's bottoms up. voice-verified

Sometimes I get confused, even though I shouldn't. voice-verified

Having said that, what we really got wrong is people are literally building a hundred X more software than we were 18 months ago. voice-verified

And I said last week on the show, like if your portfolio companies aren't deep into their 20s, 27 roadmaps, they're failing. voice-verified

Okay. voice-verified

It is true. voice-verified

Like we just build features that used to take a quarter, a year can be built not really in an hour or five minutes, but can be built in a week or a month. voice-verified

And so if you look at your best portfolio companies, look how fast they're ship, how much they're not just fast, how much they're shipping. voice-verified

So there's a financial TAM. voice-verified

Which has some theoretical headwinds, but literally the amount of code we're building is a hundred X. voice-verified

And so that's what we got wrong. voice-verified

We didn't realize we would all be building compound companies, compound startups, we would all be building a hundred times more software. voice-verified

We got that wrong when the show started. voice-verified

That's where I think we got the TAM wrong. voice-verified

You have no choice. voice-verified

You can't win because your competitors are compound startups. voice-verified

They're all overlapping at a pace we never saw before. voice-verified

They're all competing at a pace we never saw before, right? voice-verified

May maybe we get confused because that we LMs we talk about a lot are these still horizontal platforms in many ways, right? voice-verified

They're not building hundreds of applications despite claw design and this and that. voice-verified
