…I forget it was super I apologize I was super I think it was like on a plane flight so I apologize for that he had like three dollar signs in the title I was like I can't do that so it's either building AI for the enterprise and then I also said the worst the most dangerous thing an AI startup can do is build for other AI startups which I think both of you will co-sign and I think basically the main thesis which I really liked was like go slow to go fast like here's the if you actually build for like security, compliance, personalization, usage analytics, latency budgets, and scale from the start then you're going to pay that cost now but eventually it's going to pay off in the long run and this is the actual insight you cannot do this later like if you build the easy thing first as an MVP it's like just ship it with whatever's easy to do and then you tack on the enterprise ready. io set of like 12 things that you have you actually end up with the different products or you end up worse off than if you had started from the beginning so that I had never heard before yeah I mean we see that like repeatedly I mean just like right now we have a lot of customers in like the defense space for example we're going through FedRAMP accreditation right now and people that we're working with they saw like all the fact like oh yeah we already have a containerized system we can already like deploy in these manners we can already do like we've already gone through like security they're like oh you guys are going to have a much easier time doing this right than most companies that are just like okay we have like a big SaaS blob and now we need to like do all these things it might sound like a really deep thing I think like it's just anyone who's like worked like you know for like an extended period of time at like a company like on a certain project has probably seen this happen right like the technology just keeps on improving and then you realize that like you have to now like re-architect your whole system to get something improving like just making that kind of change when you've invested so much effort like people have like important hours they're emotionally invested whatever it might be it's really hard to make that change so I'm sure we're going to hit that also like yes I think we've done things a little bit earlier than most companies I think we're going to hit points where we're going to see parts of our systems where like oh we really need to re-architect that actually we've definitely hit that already right and I think that's just like at like the project level the you know the product level or is that like your whole company right I think the thesis behind here is like to some degree your company needs to have this DNA from the beginning and I think then you'll be able to go through those bumps a lot more smoother and be able to drive the value I don't know…
