themes? >> Yeah, sure. So, I think the the biggest hack, like if you do one one thing is the my my favorite tool for building anything is is compound engineering. And I'm It does compound engineering does a lot of things. Every has done an incredible job. Trav has done an incredible job. Kieran. And but the the killer feature is CE plan and CE work. And what that does is if I ever have an idea, like I'll I can give an example of my idea I had this morning. But if I ever have an idea, I always just start with /ceplan. Here's my idea. I'm usually using voice and what it's going to do is it's going to write a plan.md file. And that that's coming up with the execution plans for the agent. And the reason this matters versus just talking straight to Claude or to Codex is agents have a propensity to be lazy. Like they want to make you as happy as possible as fast as possible with as few tokens spent as possible. And by writing down a step-by-step systematic plan, it sets itself up so it's not lazy. And so for anything, I always say "CE plan, CE work. CE plan, CE work." And back in the day, and by back in the day, I mean like
