So we are, you know, potentially not not not totally decided yet, but but potentially going to undertake having that in in the actual tool chain and providing like a really good experience there.

I review a lot of code. I write code sometimes. I write more example code to point out where our problems are. But yeah, Dino's like a 27-person company. And even at this scale, I'm finding myself becoming more of a manager these days than an actual programmer, which is fine, I guess.

I mean, it's just what problem, at what scale are you solving a problem? Are you working on a much larger problem? Because very often I can just ask some engineer, can you work on this for three days? Uh, if I work on something for three days, that is, is going to block other things that, that I might be working on. And so, yeah, you're just, just working on problems at a larger scale.

That said, I mean, I, I love programming, obviously it's, it's like deeply satisfying and, and, uh, you know, I just don't understand why people work on crossword puzzles, like work on software. It's, it's, it's the same thing, but much faster, much, much more fun.

Someday, maybe I won't be working on Deno anymore. Deno won't be growing anymore or whatever. Then I look forward to sitting down and coding on some small stuff. But yeah, right now, the scale of Deno is such that it doesn't make too much sense for me to work on coding stuff day in and day out.

I've definitely thought about it because, I mean, I'm not the, you know, I'm like a nerdy engineer. I'm not necessarily the best salesperson. And, you know, doing the CEO job, I think you have to be kind of a salesperson, right? You have to go out and close contracts and that sort of thing. But I, you know... The focus in my life isn't to be the best programmer in the world.

I'm just trying to build cool stuff. And I think it's interesting to learn new skills. Doing Deno as a company has been pretty eye-opening. Because before that in my career, I was an engineer only. And learning how to raise money, how to manage people, how to do sales, how to do product. All of this stuff has its own interesting bits.

And I think it's about solving the problem at the end of the day. And you do what it takes to solve the problem.
