Appreciate the answer. In hindsight do you think any solutions could have been purchased that the company "rolled" itself? Was it necessary to create such a huge engineering organization and deep level of technology for what's essentially a ride hailing and food delivery company, or was it more needed to burnish the company's image to investors as a "technology company"? I don't mean to offend with this question, I'm just honestly curious.
