He says, Claude code built in an hour what took a Google team a year. That part isn't shocking. What is shocking is that Google allows their engineers to use Claude code instead of forcing Gemini, Gemini command line interface, or AntiGravity. So this is a Google engineer down here, Jana Dogen. And then it says, I'm not joking and this isn't funny. We have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. So Google has really smart engineers, right? Some of the best models in the world. There are various options. Not everyone is aligned. I gave Claude code a description of the problem. It generated what we built last year in an hour. Okay, so then you have this guy up here. I think he helped build Gemini. So he's like, I used to be a Google engineer. I leveled up all the way and feel if I had Agentic Coding and particularly Opus, so Claude's Opus, I would have saved myself first 6 years of work compressed into a few months. So my point of bringing this up right now is we've been talking about this for a while, Neil, but I'm telling you, in the last week, it's been a step change and we're able to enter the arena now. This is what these people are seeing right now. I'm telling you, the moment I get you to feel this, you'll be like, okay, yeah, this feels— Yeah, because you can just describe what you want and it creates it.
