If you're on the cloud team, you own the bill. You're expected to explain every charge. You're responsible for every $ - because it’s easier.

Until you have a system to track and allocate spend, every cost is yours.

Tags. Accounts. Metadata. Good governance is the only way out.

The best governance ideas don’t fail because they’re flawed.

They fail because they’re abandoned.

Focus on function, not form.

LLM results depend on two things:
🧠 How smart the model is
📚 How well you brief it

Model quality? That’s up to OpenAI and friends.
Context? That’s your job.

Want Jedi-level performance?
Be like Luke: bring the force and the facts.
