  1. Who Owns Your Agent’s Harness?

    Copilot Studio is a good place to start with agents. But when a project needs custom tools and predictable behavior, I want to own the harness and let Microsoft run the infrastructure with Foundry Hosted Agents.

  2. Vibe Coding Is a Dollar Store Padlock

    Agentic programming lets anyone build software that looks finished. In production, just looking finished is not nearly enough.

  3. Before You Pick Fabric, Count Your Engineers

    I build on Microsoft Fabric and Databricks at the same time. For a small team of engineers building with dbt on a small capacity, I keep ending up on the same side.
