And there's a couple of reasons for this.
One is the communication, like getting rid of communication gaps, because sometimes it was hard to tell if someone was good, because really what was happening is they had a lot of good ideas, but they couldn't communicate them, right?
I know so many people that are like geniuses, but they have such a hard time communicating to other people.
And the coding models are incredible at this.
I'll give you a really simple example.
Something I do a lot now is the models have gotten so good that I can use a really complex, like something that's really complex and legal, right?
Like multi-jurisdictional fund formation, and you have to do like the, how you do tax exemptions and all these things.
I can just say, can you give me an example in engineering that's similar to this?
And the models are so good that they'll come up with like a one pager that is like a perfect comparison.
That's, I know like kind of a silly example, but there's so many ways to do translation now.
And because there's so many ways to do translation, you can really see like who's coming up with good ideas.
And that's maybe one reason.
The second reason is you just don't need to communicate.
Like you can just go and on the weekend, on a Sunday, if you're a really good engineer, you can just go build something and then just shoot it off into the general slack and people can see what it is.
And so you don't even need those communication barriers, right?
Some of the best producing people on earth are terrible at communicating and terrible at working with others.
And a lot of what you sometimes have to do as a company is how do you create a situation for those folks to succeed?
because they can't manage up you know they don't look as prestigious they maybe not don't have like the resume that everyone likes um they aren't as good at communication they can be hard to work with but they're geniuses they're like incredible they're so good at what they do and how do you create an environment for that the coding models are going to make it so that those folks can do better like better than they've ever done before what do you think of the second and third order consequences of slight variations in skill being leverageable to a degree we've never seen before
I think it's the same thing that happens in sports, right?
So like, in sports, being a little bit faster compounds, right?
