…I mean, but yeah, so it's, uh, Python, uh, cursor as my, uh, kind of code gen thing. Yeah. I would also mention that I really like your code generation thing. I have another thesis I haven't written up yet about how generative UI has kind of not fulfilled its full potential. We've seen the bolts and lovables and those are great. And then Vercel has a version of generative UI that is basically function calling pre-made components. And there's some. Thing in between where you should be able to generate the UI that you want and pin it and stick to it. And that becomes your form or yeah. And so the way I put it is, um, you know, I think that the two form factors of agents that I've seen a lot of product market fit recently has been deep research and the AI builders, like the bolt lovables. I think there's some version of this where you generate the UI, but you sort of generate the Mad Libs fill in the blanks forms, and then you, you, you keep that stable. And the deep research is. Just fills that in. Yeah. Yep. And that's it. I like that. Yeah. Um, so I, I, I love those, uh, kind of simple, uh, simple limitations and kind of abstractions, but then if you look at the kind of, I'll say almost like the polar opposite of that. So, so right now, most of the UIs that you and I think about or conceive, or even examples are based on the primitives and the vocabulary that we have for UI right now. It's like, oh, we have text boxes. We have check boxes. We have radio buttons. We have pulldowns. We have nav. We have clicks, touches, swipes, now voice, whatever it is, the set of primitives that exist right now, we will combine them in, uh, in interesting ways, but where I think AI is going to be headed on, I think on the UI front is the same place is headed on the science front that originally it's like, oh, well, based on the things that we know right now, it'll sort of combine them, but we're like right at the cusp of it being able to actual novel research. So maybe a future version of AI comes up with a new set of primitives that actually work better for human computer interaction than things that we've done in the past, right? It's like, I don't. I don't think it's, it ended with the, uh, the checkbox, radio button and dropdown list. Right. I think there's life beyond that. Uh, yeah, I know we're going to move to business models after, but when you talked about ivory teams, one way we talk to folks about it is like you had offshoring yet on shoring, which is like, you know, move to cheaper place in the country than offshoring. You know, it's like AI shoring. Yep. You're kind of moving some roles. That's the thing people say. Yeah. Shoring. Yeah.…
