And you have to work through what is the implication of something like this?

For example, I think simply getting deployed into an enterprise and being part of a workflow there is no longer a guarantee that things are going to keep continuing because switching is also easier.

I would say that's the first thing.

Every company that's in the world of creating software as a big part of their business needs to think through what is the durable value that they are creating.

I think it's a really hard question to internalize, and so we spend a lot of time just thinking about it.

The second one, and this gets to the heart of your question, and I honestly just have a practice.

which is that this is a bad time to be making two and three year plans.

Anytime things are getting better or worse by 20, 30% every month, the human ability to predict these things, which are exponential in nature is,

you know, it just doesn't, it doesn't really work.

I joke to people that at this point in time, we should treat coding agents the same way we treat traffic.

Any person is always going to look at Google Maps first before they go somewhere because it's an all-seeing guy.

Agents are sort of becoming like that when it comes to software.

And the more you have that open mentality that more things might be possible with a new model release than was possible before, the more you will be pleasantly surprised and you'll be ready to take advantage of it.

And so I stress that childlike quality in figuring out what is possible.

Obviously, you know there are nuances to how do you put in work in such a way that even if the model got better?

You'll still be able to take advantage of what you have done before there are practical problems like that But the biggest thing that I ask for is that open-mindedness to what is possible today?

Because a lot different from what was possible say a month ago.

It's a useful way to think about how value is going to get created.

Remember, back in the web era, we talked about number of visits, number of unique visitors.

These were the things are weekly active versus monthly active.
