It took us from being a really, really nice user interface product to something that's truly transformative for people's work.
But the general initial thesis was kind of right in that this product sucks and it's used by everyone and something better should exist.
And so I think that was the bet.
And then we'll figure out how to build a great business around that.
And it's turned out, I don't know if AIs can be...

But from a like, does this thing really help people do their job better standpoint?
It's like it proved to be right.

Like when they did that round, we were in the thousands of wow.
And now we're like, you know, I think we'll hit a million active users, active developers this year.
And now obviously we're growing our revenue super duper fast, but it was like really, really risky.
And I mean, I wonder if Andrew thought it was reflected on.
It was like, what am I doing?
But like, I don't know.
I think it's actually going to work.
