Did you use Rust for other stuff or is it pretty much just for the Delta stuff?
23:46
Yeah, no, absolutely.
23:47
So around that time, so what was this like 2023, that's when I, I started like thinking about, okay, this is really impressive technology.
23:58
And I know we were talking about this a little bit earlier that, I mean, I have a lot of, uh, a lot of connection to just like everyday businesses.
24:06
Uh, like my, my in-laws, um, own highly successful H bank companies and, and, uh, um, like electric electronic companies.
24:15
And, um, and I've always just like, kind of thought about, um, you know, when you're talking with them, Oh, how do you guys like managing your your data, right? It's not even they're like, data.
24:25
And then like, how are you managing your your like, invoices in your inventory? Like, are you able to collect that and be able to understand like what's going on and even like we're not really doing anything yeah we have the quick books right maybe we have an hr system we're obviously tracking our payments and stuff that and and they they do that really elegantly and it's honestly like really impressive you know for for how they're able to keep that all together and this has got me thinking I mean, there's got to be a better way that you can be able to provide these types of lake house benefits, you know, to like everyday businesses.
