And you need references from people that are trusted.

Otherwise, it's just very hard to get ahead.

The same story you see in every, you know, talent constrained job market is here.

So, I mean, the median Matz fellow is 27.

Okay.

So there's like somewhat like a log normal distribution, long tail.

I think the oldest one last quarter was like 55, 60.

So there are people of all ages applying to Matz.

The youngest person is, of course, 18 because we can't take minors.

Now, okay, more statistics, right?

20% of Matz fellows are undergrads.

They have no bachelor's degree.

Okay, or perhaps some of them haven't even applied for a bachelor's, right?

They're just cracked engineers.

About 15% have PhDs already in the bag.

So at least as far as math is concerned, as like this accelerant, reskilling, retraining, internship, mentorship program, whatever, you're getting a broad distribution of people.

Now, I think that there is obviously huge demand for people with more experience.

A second critical thing is that they have experience with the latest tools.

And because these tools haven't existed very long, young people have a strong chance of being people who are particularly good at using these tools because they've just been constantly on the cusp of things.

They haven't been sitting in a cubicle not using cloud code every day.
