That's why I tell you guys early 90s early 2000s if you lose a still mail you can get a job because those skills was rare Companies didn't have coding infrastructure in place software in place So just anybody just can come in and create a web form or some kind of form where you can store stuff on a computer Basic stuff can come in just make a difference and then have to even know about the actual company They just hey hey, I need this data I need to store it and these people need access to it But now since everything's mature you got software in place you got systems in place all that's there You can't come in with the basics. Hey, I'm just gonna write HTML And I'm gonna just do a story in this table and expecting to be able to make impact to a company in 2020 going forward. It's just not gonna happen. Yeah, there are some of that work for startups and no other companies who got Ex no existing systems Yeah, but that's a very small percentage and you as a new developer is not gonna get that business I can tell you that now What you need to be focusing on are those?
