The reason is if you don't examine it, your competitor is examining it, and they're gonna be able to move faster and do it for less and blah blah blah than than than you. And then it's also the job of a leader to think about, okay. Given that we're moving five x as fast, what can we now add to the road map that we couldn't do before? You know? I I am still quite bullish on the case for software engineering and software engineers. I I just think we'll be able to take on wild projects that we couldn't ever conceive of. I do think education will have to change. Right? I I I feel like all of these great things that were proven to be not that useful in software engineering back when I did computer science are actually more relevant than ever. Things like architecture design. You know, it... Like, good practices around architecture and design will allow you to define a much better system for AI to go off and implement. But I think the last forty years, we've tended to dive straight into implementation, and generally hack away or rewrite, and probably not employ great software engineering practices. Right? The nice thing now is implementation is promising to be free. That doesn't mean to say software engineering is free. You know? You you can still mess it up with cogeneration.

[00:41:01] S1: Brilliant answer. Everyone listening, when you need a dose of positivity about what... What's what's ahead for humans, go ahead and replay that one. It is the case that we're gonna have more time to dream bigger dreams, and I think that's net net positive for humanity. Hey, Jeremy. I'm about out of time. I gotta get you off the hot seat, but you're not going anywhere without answering one last important question for me. So rewind the clock back to the kid from Surrey getting off the plane, getting ready to meet Marc Benioff for the first time. What's your advice to that kid? What do you wish that you would know in the van that you know now?

[00:41:40] S0: You know, it it... A career is a long time. And I think when you're young, ambitious, you you can't really comprehend, like, whatever, 30 in in the tech industry, and you're in a hurry. And I think the... Particularly in in in Silicon Valley, like, your superpower is your network. I actually wish I kept in touch with more people. I've met folks over the years who've been very, very good at this. Because all those folks that, you know, you kick around with when you first start your career, those folks become, you know, leaders and... Of quite often huge companies. I mean, you know, Mark has done, you know, quite well at Salesforce. The the product manager I worked with for for for Oracle eight was Thomas Curian, who, you know, has a has a decent job over at Google Cloud. And and so, yeah, I I I think you feel like you can do it all yourself. I think when you're young, it... It's like sort of get out of my way. I'm here. But actually, the superpower ends up in your network and and who you can work with, and a lot of that is who you keep in touch with and who you build relationships with. And so, yeah, I wish I'd I wish I'd probably valued that much earlier in in my career. But, yeah, it was the best decision I ever made to actually get on that plane. I will say that as well. [00:43:03] S1: Hateful. Well, good. Good advice. Jeremy, where can the audience learn more about you and the great work that you and your team are doing?

[00:43:03] S1: Hateful. Well, good. Good advice. Jeremy, where can the audience learn more about you and the great work that you and your team are doing? [00:43:13] S0: No. So we we are... Social media is probably the best on on on LinkedIn observing. We are still... I think we're just moving our website under snowflake, snowflake.com/observability. I'm sure it... It's gonna be. But, yeah, follow us on LinkedIn. Follow us via the blog. Actually, that's a good place to find the latest and greatest. [00:43:36] S1: Brilliant. Well, as the world changes, we'll we'll have you back, and we'll we'll see how some of these big ideas that you posed are faring in the real world. Right? This is this is great. Thanks for hanging out. [00:43:47] S0: Alright. Thank you. Thanks for the invite. [00:43:49] S1: Yeah. Well, that's all the time we have for this week on AI and the future of work. As always, I'm your host, Dan Turchen from PeopleRain. And, of course, we're back next week with another fascinating guest. [00:44:08] S0: From people rain making us better. [00:44:10] S1: We learned about AI for humans. We're ready to conquer the future that's all for now. [00:44:19] S0: See you [00:44:19] S1: next time.
