So we are getting in a better spot. And then I don't know what AI it was, but the interesting thing is, I don't even think it's going to end up mattering because AI is going to solve all technical depth.

There's so much that makes them fragile systematically that at least all their sales disappearing because suddenly most people purchase from their mobile phones, that just their website doesn't work on—it's not their job to stay current with these kinds of things.

I think so, because the thing that feels like the big opportunity to me is clustering was always so hard to do because all the features were developed manually.

They have disadvantages that only appear over time. So if you change a lot, you do multiple things, you are also, I think heightening your misalignment with the people you don't want in your company is an enormously important thing.

Well not only that, because those are the obvious examples of unquantifiables, but the big one is… I'm curious, there's team at Shopify that's doing a great job of their product and there's a team that's lost and has kind of a wooly direction and actually their dev tools suck and so it's very hard for them to make forward progress and they're thrashing with lots of “keep the lights on” work.
