Neil Ward-Dutton @neilwd.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Why is it that every enterprise tech vendor I talk to now seems to overnight have an army of Forward-Deployed Engineers? Could it be that they want to see if they can get some of that "Palantir magic"? 000

Neil Ward-Dutton @neilwd.bsky.social · 17/07/2025We often hear of big anniversaries of Big Albums by Big Artists - but how in the jiminy blazes is it 30 years since the release of Aimee Mann's I'm With Stupid? In the genre of wry American singer-songwriter melodic indie, it is an absolute end-to-end banger btw. 000
