Transcript context
…We're going to try to get Mark on the podcast. And they're good friends with Salesforce. Any parting thoughts, any trends that you're super excited about? If we're talking about trends, I go back to our original podcast where we talked about the idea that the software world is built from specs, tests, and code. And I think you can see that one dimension are company startups that are rethinking the entire development environment, I think like Bolt, etc. And another dimension is where is their focus? Is it on the spec, is on the test and on the code? And I think it's interesting to see that from that view. We'll see more startup and more amazing announcements of new directions, new philosophy. So I think we'll see startup focusing, let's build everything from the spec. To some extent, I would say that Bolt is, from my understanding, you can say better, somewhere in the line between the spec and the code. Because you start, like I saw your demos, you're trying to describe things, not just in one row, because you want to look like you want it. So it's on that edge between connecting between spec and code. And you see others, I think all the IDEs, most of them are the new IDEs, or the fork are there. We are more focused from the test and to the code and to the spec, etc. So these are trends, I think we will see that. And I think another dimension to consider is, is it more for the highway AI, for the developers, maybe not even a technical person, or is it for the enterprise? And that also gives you different products. If they are aiming for different ICP, different ideal client profile, they will approach this triangle of spec and test and code. And that's how I see the world. And what I'm noticing is that we're seeing more and more of those new startups, new interfaces that are not focused on code. For example, talking more about the spec, talking more about the testing. Eventually, I think that that's where the world is going to. The code is going to be there, and there will be developers, etc. But as agent improves and capabilities of the LLMs and integrations to different parts of the development environment, we're going to see more and more focusing on the spec and the test. Basically, these two might unite, the spec and the test, because you can say that tests are runnable specs, to some extent. So that's another way to look at it. Yeah, that is literally on the slide here, runnable tests, right here. Yeah, I'm consistent.…
