…That’s definitely a trade-off. I still use the exact same stack, PHP, jQuery and different flavors of SQL. But the question there is you keep using jQuery because you can get the job done really fast and there’s no significant performance hit that you detect. So like why swish to something else? But it’s always probably as we’ll talk about good to explore and to learn. Not all tools are great at solving all problems. And so what you think is really the problem is you run into this trade off, which is you have some tool belt that you’re very adept with, you know all the ins and outs. There’s no unknown unknowns, but there’s no surprises in this. You know what you’re building, you know what you’re getting into. You will go through and you’ll be able to solve the problem. But if you ever use a different language or a different experience, you can find that some things are able to represent states way easier, in a way more efficient way. And you can solve problems really efficiently in some versus the other. And so it’s like if you don’t take the time to explore as well, you could be missing out on something that makes you twice as good on this one specific problem like subset. And so I value being able to look at all problems. And so I don’t want to get stuck on one thing though. I see why people do, which is for the efficiency sake. Let’s just return to the infrastructure of the platform of Netflix and, speak more generally, Netflix, Twitch, YouTube. Anytime I use any of these services, I’m just blown away by the infrastructure it takes to deliver this service. YouTube and Twitch are unique, versus Netflix where the creators can roll in themselves and upload stuff. So on the consumption side, YouTube has over 100 billion views a day, over one billion hours watch time. But on the creator side, one million hours of videos are uploaded every day. One million hours. It’s like you have to service both and you have to deliver everything… It’s just incredible to me. Can you maybe speak to your own intuition, just zooming out on it, what it takes to deliver that kind of infrastructure?…
