Some people will figure it out by going to ChatGPT and Claude and asking questions and I actually am really inspired about how persistent some of our users are, which is really amazing. But I think you'll get an MVP pass, the MVP where it's a product that's working and you need to change and iterate on it.

So can you actually build the next Salesforce if anyone can generate Salesforce? And then the question is, and this is why I emphasize being generative, because I think then the thing that will make you better is by being able to iterate and improve the thing really quickly and generate new ideas.

I think a very important scale that's perhaps harder to develop but it's worth working on is being generative, being more generative, being able to generate new ideas quickly, because you can think about it as a factory line.

If you're at a big company, it's very easy to bring a new editor and start coding with it. It's quite hard to bring something that's quite opinionated about everything from how the code runs to how the code deploys, but that's the trade-off we're willing to make is like yeah, we're not going to get into the enterprise main software development pipeline, but we want to empower everyone to be able to build software, and that means product managers, designers.

I think people are unaware of just how far things have gone and how much is actually possible, especially when someone that knows what they're doing is using the product.

I think people are familiar with some of the more chat interfaces like v0 and others where it's purely chat, but this is a full IDE where you can go and look at the files and edit them yourself or ask the AI for an explanation.

I think where it gets really tough is that when you're hitting scale and you want to architect a system that is resilient, and so that means you would start sharding databases and you would start using different queue systems and components and things like that.

One thing that I think is really difficult now is having roadmaps, especially if you're doing anything in AI, but really anything that AI could affect, you want to be able to react to it really quickly.
