appreciate and why uh what else else are you into besides software and why, you know, or besides like design and why? And so I'll just ask things like someone will be like, "Well, I got this backpack recently." I'm like, "Well, why'd you get that one?" Like, "What is it about that one?"

Um, I've also bought some like I bought an old car recently, uh, a Porsche 928 from 1978.
