Why did you decide to leave the company? I'm just kidding. How much time do you have? I think we've got 45 minutes. I'm just kidding. In reality, this company has just given up listening to any current customers or potential customers or engineers or people in sales and customer success. Instead, have just turned all the decision-making over to a small group of really wealthy individuals who are being dragged around by their dicks by our board who still believes AI can replace all of our jobs. Ah, okay. And um, next question, what did you think about in general working for our company? Um, probably the way that prisoners think about making license plates. Is that um, is that good or or bad? More like required. Is there anything we could have done to prevent you from leaving? Ooh, um, banishing anyone with a senior vice president title or above to the gulag. All right. Um, last question for you. Um, would you recommend others apply for a position here? Oh, um, it depends. In this what-if scenario, is there literally any other way to make money? Uh, yeah. Yes. No.
