BEST MOMENTS

"The most important thing is that teams pick an enterprise-level license, so they protect their IP."

"We try to be experimentalist in everything we do, whether it's figuring out the products to build or features, including AI Advisory Council. So, we heard what they wanted to get out of it and how they wanted it structured. Today, it is a Slack channel, an occasional email and occasional meetup."

"I am certain there is huge ROI on the coding side. It's at least 40x over a two year period in terms of how much more productive coders are relative to the to the cost of enterprise licenses."
