So tough right now because in the face of strong fundamentals the punishment in the markets is beyond anything we have frankly seen outside of initial COVID fears. The grim reaper of AI over a 5-10 year period will come for nice-to-have software with lots of software breakage margin in under-utilized seats overfunded areas where us VCs backed too many competitive companies in too small a TAM without one having a clear right to breakout and dominate and companies that just wont be able to embed real agentic products into their customer"
