[4928.32 --> 4932.80] business on you know building small websites you know like building five page five page websites
[4932.80 --> 4937.36] stuff like that you know that that business model didn't last very long and you kind of the business
[4937.36 --> 4942.40] went into an incubation period and and was reborn out of that you know this that might be what's
[4942.40 --> 4947.12] about to happen again we'll see you never know that does make sense yeah i mean you got to evolve when
[4947.12 --> 4952.80] when change happens resilience is change really essentially you got to change with the change that's
[4952.80 --> 4959.12] right that wise man once said all right was that you maybe martin fowler i don't know
[4961.04 --> 4965.12] well good luck on that change yeah good luck navigating it i appreciate that and the the
[4965.12 --> 4968.96] product direction i agree with jared it does sound like the way to go because if you can give i think
[4968.96 --> 4977.44] so too an executive in i don't know what time frame something that is authoritative and finite in terms of
[4977.44 --> 4984.40] there is lack of freshness or you're this far behind best practices or some sort of indicator
[4984.40 --> 4991.44] that says i'm not hearing it from my developers who in quotes whine right or complain that i i lovingly
[4991.44 --> 4998.16] trust but really i need this authoritative thing that says hey get your stuff together yeah and trying
[4998.16 --> 5005.84] trying to give you engineering teams a way to translate the data that that the system is collecting in a
[5005.84 --> 5011.52] way that can be easily consumed by their leadership so you know instead of you know having a graph
[5011.52 --> 5018.24] with a whole bunch of data on on a web page and then sending you know trying to get your your manager
[5018.24 --> 5024.16] to log into that instead like generate a powerpoint deck and write something you can toss into an email
[5024.16 --> 5028.40] and forward to somebody and and in there can be a link to that dashboard like if somebody wants to
[5028.40 --> 5032.56] see the dash here's our vulnerability score or something like that or here's our staleness factor
[5032.56 --> 5037.60] right freshness factor or freshly factor or whatever it might be and that could actually be quite good
[5037.60 --> 5044.88] at marketing too for you yeah you know because then it becomes maybe a a race or a competition of
[5044.88 --> 5053.76] sorts with executives or yeah ceo to ceo like hey what's your what's your freshness factor and then help
[5053.76 --> 5058.48] you know even within like a an organization that might have a portfolio of projects are there projects
[5058.48 --> 5062.72] that are doing better than others what you know and then getting curious about the teams that are
[5062.72 --> 5067.04] doing better what are they doing differently and is there knowledge that those teams might have
[5067.60 --> 5072.56] which might make sense to share with other teams yeah good plan yeah man you should do it
[5072.56 --> 5077.68] thanks working on it it just takes time building software it takes time it takes time even with
[5077.68 --> 5082.80] like ai's help right it still takes time i can't just hit my fingers and say that's right hey uh hey
[5082.80 --> 5087.84] hey github copilot you know build this for me or hey aws code whisperer build this for me right
[5087.84 --> 5092.48] you still gotta fix those bugs that it spits out at you that's right well thanks for stopping by
[5092.48 --> 5096.40] scott yeah appreciate appreciate you letting me uh chat you bet
