Taste of the 90's (#98)

In this episode, we start by celebrating Nick's silver medal in Costa Rica, and Ulrikke shares news and updates from the 5th and last Power Platform Community Conference in Las Vegas last week. Charles Lamanna, Ryan Cunningham, and Leon Welicki led the keynote, sharing the investments they have made in the core platform and tying up loose ends. 

This brings us nicely to the last loose end that they are deprecating: the unmanaged developer environment. Make sure to get your solution out of these environments by December - they will be deleted by January 2027. This ties into the broader story of Microsoft moving towards a pay-as-you-go and for-all-that-you-use policy - and away from free development in all parts of their ecosystem. 

There are news and updates as well as deprecations - fortunately - and this week we saw how Andreas Adner used the new Power Platform CLI with Claude Code Mods to create a real-time admin tool. We also talked about Kent Weare's blog post on how Custom API's in Dataverse MCP Server unlock transactional operations with your coding agents, and Julia Casper announced that Hydra Fusion is now renamed to GitHub Copilot Fusion and will surface as a model choice in your GitHub Copilot soon.
