Talk a little bit about the symbolism of that.
And then, I mean, besides, you know, greatest of all time, obviously, but and then also EXA.
You shared before what EXA means, but talk more about why you named the company EXA.
Yeah, I love that goat.
Starting the recruiting funnel early.
Great name.
We love the name as well.
And the goats.
My kids love the goats.
So I wanted to, this topic feels a little bit
over-talked about, but it's been in the news more recently, so I'm going to bring it up, which is, I don't know if you saw, Will Menides wrote an article recently called Grindslop.
It's almost this backlash of, and in fact, I pulled a quote from it.
He said something about, we're witnessing a phenomenon that masquerades as discipline, but represents perhaps the most extravagant squandering of economic surplus in our civilization's history.
So extreme words.
Right.
And he he talked about sort of all of these articles that are glorifying the grind over what they're doing.
You know, all of these things that, you know, maybe are more relevant to work life balance, etc., etc.
So I guess I'll start with saying one of the things that I was actually most impressed and excited by when I visited EXA at, God, I think it was like 8 p.m., was that there were a ton of people in the office.
And it wasn't just that they were there for FaceTime, because obviously that's not what you and Jeff care about.
But they were there.
