✅ Final Thoughts Friday for 2024-09-27
The weekend arrives...
As of this update, I am still wrapping up publishing my AI Field Day 5 delegate notes on Keysight, Integrail, Cisco, VMware, Elastic, Arista, and Enfabrica.
Once again, I am thankful for new and ongoing client work and catching up with past co-workers. Weather this week meant more indoors time for digging into my non-technology projects.
The biggest stories this week that caught me eye:
- The market for selling $1 for $0.74 is massive.
- More companies will be compelled to tell you that you own nothing.
- Open source can take steps forward in dramatic and different ways.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
