bunch of code that wants to calculate a thing and that's too late, right? That is at the end. We should leverage everything else we've got. So I'm with you, but we'll see if the market moves, right? Hopefully they will this time, but who knows?
I know. So I'm like, all we're— so right now I'm very focused on that definition space, creating process. We're going to adopt data.world. I'm going to teach the organization and changing the mental model of my team to be like, meaning is a shared thing we create. Meaning is not, I've been here for 15 years and I'm the only one who knows how to do lab order analytics. That's great, but I hope someday you get promoted and someone else will do that work. So I need you to like, you don't, you're not valuable because you're the only one who knows that. You're valuable cuz you are the top contributor to our shared repo of meaning, if you will. Yeah. And that's a mental shift for people and it feels scary cuz everyone's worried about, am I gonna have a job in the age of AI? So we're doing all of this change and transformation
