I mean, I hate talking in a vacuum.
16:12
If there's no one else talking, it makes me crazy.

But just to back up, speaking of DDM Explorer first, as we then kind of fall down the funnel into like, how does it actually apply? The main goal of the app is really looking at how to translate Apple's GitHub docs into declarations to deploy.

And then also immediately, and if you need to export device statuses, really in the vein of try, deploy to a device and see what happens.

There are a lot of different paradigms when it comes to declarative management that... aren't the things that we're used to.

Maybe they report differently, success, nuance of maybe partial success.
