When it's Nano Banana Pro and it removes an entire industry, well, I think it's shorter. It's actually much quicker in my life. It's just my life. It's shorter. And the thing that is stressful on this, and it's, and it's a way to make money, is the stressful thing is that if you're— and again, I don't want to endlessly talk about vibe coding apps, but I have so much experience, right? I'm shocked everything is faster than I would have ever and better than I would have ever expected. We started this about security, right?

There's no way it's gonna do a frigging enterprise-grade security audit. Yet here we are. And then we turn around and everything Anthropic can do this year is faster and better and bigger than we thought. I'm not saying it's some meta level, Everything isn't slower than we think, right? Certainly that dumb article, right? DoorDash being disrupted by Base44 next week is dumb. But God, this acceleration, it's just— it's hard to— it's so fast.

A lot of the ones that, that we, the founders we love that Harry talks to, the products are terrible now because the software is like, AI software is so good. Blow your brains out to input data for 2 hours into your system, right?
