Not that long from now, you'll be able to go to the system initiative website and click a button and then you'll have a workspace and you can just start managing infrastructure right away.

And so we can talk about the journey we're on in a really honest way with the people that are coming to use it because they are also people who love to do that kind of thing. I'm looking forward to when we break the platform and we have to like all hop on Discord and fix it in public because those are the people that I love anyway.
