"One of the biggest early wins has been seeing how well #AI performs when given structure. The DSL and master prompt gave the AI clear rails to follow, which dramatically improved consistency and reduced errors. The more structured we made the input, the better the output became."

We tried something bold: letting #AI join the migration team.
In our latest story, Marcin shares how #ChatGPT, #Cursor & #Claude helped us move from #AngularJS to #React – faster, smarter, and with human oversight at every step.

Integration tests are amazing. Integration tests with login to #Entra are ... not. Our Solution Architect Kelvin did a ton of hard work to document how to mock Entra in your tests. It's harder than it should be - but with his guidance you, too, can do it.
When authentication breaks your integration tests – mock it.
#Playwright can make testing fast and reliable… until you hit #MicrosoftEntra or another third-party auth. Our engineers found a way to fix that with a Mock OpenID Connect service 👇

I wish there was a law for companies that the wait time to get through to Sales *had* to be longer than the wait time for customer support.
Changes would be quick to materialise...

You may already know this, but....
You know how MS Teams now combines the Chat and the Channels into one place (unless you turn it off)?
Combine that default behaviour with the "Unread" filter. So simple, yet a complete game changer - at least for me.

Azure Tenants vs Subscriptions – confused?
You're not alone.
🧭 Tenant = identity boundary (Entra ID)
🧾 Subscription = billing + resource container
The distinction matters – for security, governance & scaling.

I love learning.
But maybe not so much spending a couple of hours "learning" how to get linux to use a new version of Python :D
As with most open source, there is more than one way 😮
At least, now I know...

With all this nonsense about trying to police people's gender I wanted to do something positive so went to Kiva to "lend" money to non-binary people. Looks like other people had the same idea as there are no open requests on there 😍

I wonder how much of "midlife crisis" and the buying of motor bikes and whatnot is just down to boredom and a need for something to be different?

Random thought: A friend recommended the Ronhill Tech Twin Shorts for #running. I have been looking for good running shorts that works for long runs for a couple of years. Tried the Ronhills this morning and they are awesome.
Admittedly only a short run today - I'll do a long run this weekend.
