Yeah, yeah, I mean, this is critical to me, and it should be critical to any company that wants to do great things.

Like, people need to be super excited about what they're doing and have a ton of fun, right?

So, like, you might have also heard at 8 p.m., like, people were just laughing.

Yeah, oh, yeah, absolutely.

We laugh a lot at Exa, and it's almost too loud sometimes, and it's, like, distracting.

So we have to have, like, headphones for everybody.

But...

But yeah, like people are, it's very important people are having fun and that's necessary for doing the best work of your life.

And I also, I would say like having fun, just like just good vibes, but also it's very important that people work on the projects that are most exciting to them at any point.

And so like people, especially now with like,

you know, all these AI tools, like anyone, especially on the engineering side or even on the market side or off side, everyone can work on whatever they want.

So for example, like we had someone who built the vector database who was like, hey, I want to go train models.

I was like, okay, just go do it.

And like, he didn't really have experience in training models, but I was like, you're really smart.

You'll learn it in like two weeks.

And then you'll just do amazing work.

And he's done amazing work.

So, right.

So like, I make sure everyone's working on exactly what they want to work on.

And luckily in search, it's like, at least in our space, like in any direction we improve things, it will be good for the business.
