figuring out which model, embedding model to use, whether you should use a multimodal embedding model or a text embedding model and so forth. So all of those are incredibly important, but increasingly, we're getting to a point where you can automate many of these things and then reduce the complexity so that a lot of what we used to require practitioners to do can be relatively automated at this point.

Coding agents, I think, as you called out, have passed this threshold where because they're a lot more capable, a lot more people are using them.
