Appreciate the piece Dan! Tinkering around with the edge impulse platform, I notice how it has made the the entire process of collecting, feature extraction, and tuning 'click.' Unless you studied this (or wrote a book about it!) it's not that obvious, so I think that low barrier to entry, and making it intuitive for non PhD's and specialists is key (and the only way to get to those million developers).

I get your point about how these systems have to work over time to really get better, and realize their value over time. It stretches the mind to think that far ahead, and consider potential applications....it's possible that the 'thing' which 'needs to get done at the right time' might not be obvious at the outset, but that ideas might emerge when the engineer looks at what patterns the system he deployed sensed and collected over time.. one more reason to why making it easy to get Version 1.0 out and just getting started is a big deal!
