I asked my kids for help making burgers and offered $1/patty. I wanted 6 patties. I got 20 meatballs and grins. What does this mean for AI?... Agents do what you ask them to do, and if you incentivize them in a certain way, they will respond accordingly.

A highlight of FinOpsX is the new connections you can make. I got to meet Muthuraman Annamalai...

He is working on a really neat series - "Smart Money - Weekly FinOps Platform Insights." Make sure to follow him on LInkedIn. Link in the comments.

For all the #awsreinvent folks, what bit of gear from home do you find makes travel easier? Fror me, bringing along a full size keyboard is always worth the effort.
