    "text": "I ran a demo session with some of my VPs, and in 24 minutes, I had four VPs land code for the first time in years. It was a pretty amazing experience. They were pretty satisfied by it, too. But our adoption for this technology has been relatively slow. It's been slower than I've expected, and part of it is because we're trying to have developers do something that they're so not used to. They're used to looking at code and generating from scratch, operating in their IDE, and we're telling them to take a risk by operating in a very different way.",
