And also to, to kinda add on that, like when did it click for you that this was a distributed systems problem, like more theory than just replacing like tools? Like tools are tools at the end of the day, but there's actual theory underneath this that kinda sets you up for success.

Yeah.

Uh, I'm sure I said that 'cause I say a lot of snarky stuff online.

Um, but to put some meat behind that, um, I th- I think first, like, so a- anyone in the audience listening, I think there's two things that I hope to successfully communicate here.

One is that the best practices we have right now in IaC are really inadequate for the modern world.

And whether that's just, you know, AI's accelerating things, if you even take AI out of it, nobody at any point has said, "I wanna go slower." Like AI is helping going faster, but even just any other company has always wanted to go s- faster and faster, and the amount of infrastructure you can take and manage is only increasing, and that directly correlates to slower infrastructure management [clears throat] through your IaC.

So those best practices just really aren't keeping up with the modern world.

Do, do you wanna, um, kind of go into just kinda what it means to take that flat state file to a graph database and, like, what benefits someone might see and, like, why it's even important to think about?

We even take AI out of it.

Nobody at any point has said, I want to go slower.
