The Weekend Reader: A Little Catch-Up
This weekend: I've been MIA for the last 2 weeks, so it's time for a little catch-up on IT investments, infrastructure intelligence, reading vs. listening, and, of course, a healthy dose of AI.
This is The DX Report’s Weekend Reader. Each Saturday, I’ll highlight some of the best content from the week (or insights I just discovered!). Consider it your weekend reading list! If you’d prefer not to receive this, you can go to your profile and “manage subscriptions” and unselect The Weekend Reader.
😳 Sorry for being dark the last two weekends. Sometimes being a new father trumps my reading schedule! Hope you found some interesting stuff to read in our absence.
