And so instead of just going to a real estate page and kind of creating a note sheet of what is interesting, they had the agent create a map of all the available offices in

just for them right so it's personal software it only serves that one purpose once they're found in office they can throw that away and whenever they need to find bigger space and whatnot they recreate that software right so that level of software effectively has lost most of its value and it's only because the creation is so cheap

But at the same time, everybody using agents will create so much more complex software because they can now, with the same skills and the same capabilities, add features to their platforms like GitHub at an accelerated pace.

And so hopefully, you know, you're still finding value in buying these platforms and paying for the service because the complexity there is increasing as much as the simplicity commoditizes the more simple applications.

We already have 150 million accounts on GitHub.

Now, I'm sure there's, you know, some duplicate accounts and some bots and whatnot.

But we are on a path, if you look back, where GitHub came from 17 years ago when it launched in April 2008.

Now we're at 150 million.

You can just continue that exponential curve and predict that by, you know, 2030 or so, we're going to be at a billion.

From my perspective, the most important thing about this number is that we have way more than a billion computer users.

In fact, we have more than a billion smartphone users on the different platforms.

And a lot of that smartphone usage today is consumption.

You're downloading an app or you're just opening a browser or you're watching videos and reading texts.

And that actually is different to what computers were 50 years ago when you bought your first, you know, well, PC wasn't around, but like microcomputer.

And where you started with creating software, right?

You had a basic prompt on a Commodore 64, and so you had to learn a little bit of coding.

And I think we're going back to that, that every consumer is also being empowered to be a creator, just like you're using your camera already to create on these phones and your email app and whatnot.

And I think that's crucial, that it's important for us that these devices let us create whatever we want to create, and the programming language is not in the way of that.

So that's the other side I see is, you know, we have a billion, well, we have more than a billion, way more than a billion people that learn math in school and that learn reading and writing in school and they have arts and sciences and physics and maths and all that.

But most folks then after school, most students after they leave school pursue one career path.
