What do you think the future of work is going to be? Because I'm seeing that we don't need as many clerical people to run a larger and larger operation. And what will the future of work look like for those clerical people? Will they be more like developers? Is everybody going to be a developer?

Because let's face it, this is like scripting. Yeah, it is, right? Like this is kind of stuff people get hired to write this kind of stuff today, right? Like that's what Brian and I were getting hired to do five years ago. We were getting hired to write code that did this stuff.

Yes. Um, so now like a a s you know, a savvy person could could probably hire themselves out and pretend that they're writing code, but it's actually Zapier behind the scenes if they wanted to, right? Right. Are people doing that? Yeah, some people do do that, right?
