Is that going to events like the Google I O event. You know, it's. It is really easy to look at Google as this, like, big, huge, corporate, you know, faceless company that just wants to harvest everybody's data and get as much money out of everybody as possible, right? Like, I think that's the perception of the Googles and the Microsofts and the metas of the world, right? But when I went to events like this, I got to meet so many of the people at Google, right? I got to meet, like, the various engineers and I got to meet, you know, you know, project leaders on different projects that were working on a lot of this software. And the thing that kind of really struck me at this event was, like, these people are really, really excited and really, really passionate about the tools that they're building. And so even though Google itself is like this big, faceless, massive mega corporation, the individuals working on these projects are really, really excited and really passionate about what they do.
