We have some engineers in Eastern Europe. I was talking to him recently, one of them. I was like, hey, do you know other engineers that are like you that are super AI-pilled? Because we'd like to have more people like you. We need more engineers, right? And he's like, oh no, no, no, you wouldn't want people like us. I'm like, why? He's like, because they believe that you should still write code by hand. I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, we can't have that. So yes, demand for software engineers is rising if they're AI-pilled.
