We'll go faster than anybody else.

There's some people who, after GitLab, went to work for other companies.

And some of them have joined, but the majority of the team has never worked at GitLab.

And they joined Kilo because they want to go incredibly fast.

They know the bar is high.

They know they've got to work really, really hard.

For example, at some point, once a quarter, we come together.

We do Focus Week, and we all work our butts off for a week.

And we do that together.

And a week before Focus Week, it was clear that we weren't recruiting fast enough.

So I put a LinkedIn post out.

I said, look.

fly by monday we'll make a decision by wednesday and then the next monday you're expected in amsterdam and four people did that and they all shipped the initial prototypes of their functionality by the end of the week and all of them launched their functionality december 10th less than two months after focus week and it's all held up so far and now they're all gonna make it better

But it's incredible speed.

The way I would look at it is it used to be that you needed like a team of seven people to do something.

Now you have one person and kind of a whole team of agents working on something.

So yeah, we have like 20 engineers.

But in reality, they're all working with seven agentic coders.

And that's the expectation that you, as one human, you ship at the speed of what two years ago would be a team of seven or eight.

That's common.
