Well, our engineers stopped coding around a year ago. A great brand with a shitty product goes nowhere. I'm extremely demanding, like like I'm a weirdo, but business wise, like no mercy. Sometimes people say, oh, I'm at the final stage with anthropic and aid slip. And to me that is a really bad red flag.

But it means you're confused. There is no way that these two jobs are any way similar. Our revenue per employees is way higher than Apple. Kids that are being born now will never work. At least for money.

I'm the type of guy that when I have a goal, then you don't stop me. Like I become a beast. This is 20 VC with me, Harry Stabbings, and in the hot seats today we have Matteo Frances Chetti. What a fantastic surname. Now he's done loads of shows, and the joys of doing a second show with someone is you get to ask questions that no one else can answer.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
