Every company today has a junk drawer of infrastructure, tools
and a very specific point of view
It’s nearly impossible for a product solve it all
I'm guessing the forward deployed engineer is a way to cover the gap
What am I missing?

If your training data misses edge cases (or worse, is mislabeled) you’re going to have problems.
Good training data is:
Accurate
Relevant
Consistent
Comprehensive
Balanced
Plentiful
Clearly labeled
No shortcuts. No snakebites either. We warned others and rerouted.

Here’s what works:
• What the problem looks like
• How we solve it
• What the customer gains
• How we plug into what’s there
Show how it hits the number → you earn attention.
PMs, designers, eng: go on a ride-along. Feel the stakes.

35% Conflicting priorities across teams
Data from Atlassian State of Product 2026
Leaders should be digging into this and taking those barriers down

You can’t build in a vacuum and expect relevance
You can’t build AI-powered products without fast learning
And get this:
49% don’t have time for strategy.
49% can’t fit in data analysis or metrics.
We need to have a serious talk about time management gang

Top 4 Reasons Team Performance Struggles: Capability, Motivation, License and Direction
When teams are slow, stalled, or scattered, the usual culprits are capability, motivation, or license. But there is a fourth factor that shapes them all: direction. Without clear direction, teams lose focus, hesitate to act, and struggle to align their efforts. Get direction right and everything else (skills, energy, and empowerment) falls into place.

So why in the cloud are we still asking engineers to tag resources, pretending tags are accurate, and building governance on broken data?
Feels like we should be past this. Tools can organize, categorize, and contextualize automatically.
