Getting Informed
Previously, I’ve shared my appreciation for Matter and Obsidian in my pursuit of a zettelkasten. So, I was really excited when the Matter team published a repository on GitHub for Obsidian users.
The Matter Obsidian plugin provides all the elements to extend to customize workflows. As such, yet another weekend project is in my near future.🤓

To understand how powerful the Matter Obsidian plugin can be, it’s worth watching how Matt Birchler from “A Better Computer” is leveraging it to simplify his own workflow.

My own Matter Obsidian plugin activity last week
This week I’ve used the Matter Obsidian plugin to help build this newsletter albeit manually. Essentially, these are the highlighted posts for my Matter reading on everything from TypeScript to Prototyping to Consumerized Enterprise to Edge Computing to the Uncanny Valley.
That’s quite the journey, eh?
Here are my favorite pull quotes from each topic linked to each writer:
📖🤔🖍
TypeScript…
“AWS CDK, Hashicorp CDK, Pulumi and more support Typescript as a first-class citizen.” Source: Matt Rickard
Prototyping…
“Using a deliberately lo-fi idea also makes it so you spend less time on the prototype itself. It’s a hack to getting to a better feature.” Source: Greg Meyer
Consumerized Enterprise…
“When done right, [Consumerized Enterprise]s deploying a product led growth strategy can grow like consumer business, with adoption occurring quickly by end users, not dragged out by lengthy sales cycles.” Source: Kara Nortman
Edge Computing…
“Enterprise technology is about to be transformed yet again — the need to process and analyze some data at the point where it is both created and consumed is becoming a business requirement as mandatory as moving other parts of the technology stack into central locations in the cloud.” Source: Lonne Jaffe and George Mathew
The Uncanny Valley…
“It’s so good that it makes you question how long actors will really be needed at all.” Source: M.G. Siegler

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.
