You mentioned our finance people, they’ve been working pretty hard on very good office integrations. And I think for a while we’ve been like, we built so much tech around cloud, leaving useful comments inside a Google Doc, and now it just does, it just like leaves a comment in your Google Doc and that’s how you interact with it.

It, it’s, it’s, it’s a level of the stack that I’m quite comfortable with. And whenever I give other engineers, advisors actually that layer that I think is most valuable to invest in because the tools of that layer are not that good.

The price of like writing code is going to zero, blah, blah, blah. But it actually seems like the value of having some sort of platform substrate is like increasing because as you build these new things, you can kind of plug them together.

Um, and I think that’s still evolving, but I think what’s probably gonna go away is like, I’m not sure if it’s gonna fully go away, but I’m gonna say, I think for me personally, I will probably no longer try to come up with a really good product without testing up with people.

If your company’s doing like weird internet things like pack inspection and like, like, you know, taking your part as a cell and inside your company, I think there was probably like a very small, easy version to build of cowork that is much simpler but also breaks on most com most users, computers.
