Open source has evolved from a developer-led software movement into one of the most important enterprise technology strategies of the last thirty years. Linux proved that community developed software could become mission critical infrastructure, and IBM and Red Hat helped turn open source from an alternative development model into a commercially supported foundation for enterprise computing.
Today, open source is no longer limited to operating systems or middleware. It shapes cloud, containers, data platforms, AI, automation, and the application supply chains every enterprise depends on.
IBM and Red Hat helped define this history once before. Now, as AI accelerates software creation and increases supply-chain risk, IBM and Red Hat are defining the next chapter: trusted, secure, commercially supported open source at global scale, with Project Lightwell.
With support from the @CommerceGov, @IBM today announced plans for Anderon, America’s first purpose-built quantum chip foundry. Leveraging IBM’s decades-long quantum leadership and strengths in wafer fabrication, the initiative will accelerate American quantum innovation and enable advanced quantum wafer production for a broad range of companies. https://t.co/GCZPZ40Ako

It feels like we hit bottom of broad software correction on Monday of this week. The market has spoken…many were priced for perfection and world is no longer perfect. Fair.
My thoughts:
-new technology always means potential for disruption.
-‘SaaS companies’ moat is not impenetrable.
-There is no such thing as a ‘SaaS company’. Depends on the product/capability and layer of the stack.
It’s all ‘show me’ from here…AI can be a tailwind. Must be demonstrated, hence ‘show me’.
A simple cheat code for life is to just be easy to work with.
Respond quickly. Do what you said you'd do. Be pleasant.
An alarming number of people suck at all of this.
This piece in @TheEconomist captures our journey well: how @IBM has sharpened our strategy, doubled down on what we are great at, and positioned ourselves for what’s next. https://t.co/184Rx5shJD
