Tried it in a year, you're a dinosaur.
It's just unbelievable how bad you are.
And uh and you know, you may be, look, I have friends who are much better engineers than I am.
Okay.
I mean, world-class, maybe some of the best in the whole world, okay, have built technologies that you've heard of, and they're not using AI yet, except the occasional I'll ask Cursor a chat question like Wikipedia, whatever.
Okay.
Those people are gonna be the interns in a year.
I've had this hypothesis that has not been really confirmed with any any anecdotal evidence at all until today, when I met somebody at your conference that told me about how he had been in this position.
12 years of experience, didn't want anything to do with AI, and he met these two PhD students from somewhere in Europe, I forget where, and they were both just super hardcore vibe coders, you know, with with the agents, right?
And he was watching them work, and they were super genius.
And they kind of didn't know what they were doing, but they just had no fear and all the ambition.
