One of the things that continues to surprise me is the speed at which things are changing. What I mean by that specifically is even tools like Claude Co-work and Claude for Excel that just launched. If you've used it, you quickly realize that you're never going to learn Excel commands again. And then I think about all the consultants that are sitting in the big four and how it's completely going to change all their stuff and how they do things. Then there's the second-order effect of folks that are going to be able to produce so many more Excel spreadsheets. This means that downstream industries of anyone essentially that uses Excel are permanently going to change. They are going to be able to do research or crunch numbers much faster and automate this stuff faster than previously ever before. It's honestly mind-boggling. It's hard to wrap my head around it. I think I've had trouble the past few years trying to remotely be even close to wrapping my head around this stuff.
