We are excited to dive into this highlight on MySQL, his evolution and the future of the database technology. Laurynas, you have been extremely active in helping improve MySQL and since April 2011, you have reported 444 bugs. First of all, I love the symmetry of the number of 444, but can you like, give us, a brief walkthrough of how you go about reporting the bugs?

Like, like what type of testing do you do? Do you set up some type of test framework or, or something? Because obviously, you know, you need to make sure that it can be repetitive and you have to report that stuff to, to the team. But just walk us through like your mental process that you, you, you do for that.
