Right. Asking MAGA to think is like asking a stone to walk. Let alone critical thinking. They simply have cut out that part of their brain and replaced it with orange goo.

Is that their goal?

Jeroen (Jay) ter Heerdt @dutchdatadude.bsky.social · 03/06/2026
Of course not. Those goals have quietly been removed from public comms..

I was working on that for the Power BI 10 year anniversary but then marketing stepped in and canned it. Leslie can help and is in touch with the creators. We had everything lined up (design, content) but marketing got involved and then it died.

Yep, that's why we added it to hopefully support both

Well, to be fair, it confused users that we changed the default behavior. I still think the change was for the better, but the backlash..

Oh man, sending you thoughts and hughs! Let me know if I can do anything.

Pulling up my Power BI socks for the last time. After nearly 20 years at Microsoft, I’m starting a new chapter. My final #PowerBI contribution ships in March. Grateful for this amazing community—42 reminders of how special you are. More soon!

I asked AI and it told me the total "sports all" is under 18 minutes if you strip off all the fluf. Boggles the European mind why this is even remotely acceptable.

It really is weird to me. Those vacation days are yours. They are your right to use as you see fit.

Jeroen (Jay) ter Heerdt @dutchdatadude.bsky.social · 30/01/2026
I know. Also, please don't generalize all of Europe. Each country / region has a very particular set of "rules"

3 weeks is the right amount. You need a week to decompress, a week to enjoy and a week to recompress

We just shake our heads in disbelief while we go home and don't hustle.

Right but... To it's trained on docs that are often not up to date, incorrect and have messy examples. Don't get me wrong, I am impressed with what you do here but I would prefer the route where there is an actual AS server hosting a model like dax.do
dax.do
DAX.do by SQLBI

But how? There must be an as instance somewhere

I "parked", which is basically the same as deleting without letting go of the username.

Congrats!

Boycott Twitter. Right now. Stop hiding behind the excuse "That's where my customers/followers are". Tell them you're leaving Twitter. Tell them why. And if they won't follow you, you don't need them. Stand up for something.

Lose config? That's weird? I am deep into it and love it, but selling the house so need to rip everything out. Hopefully labeling it properly so I can put it back in place in a new house..

Do you not feel free in your smart home?

I am not replacing electricity with pull wires 😂

No smart stuff uses electricity still? 😂

My house is pretty dumb even with the smart stuff.

What do you call it if you are removing all your smart home stuff? Stupifying? Lobotomy? What do you think?

Got it. Thanks for the feedback!

Ah, interesting. Ctrl-Z is not enough? We always treated resizing a column as a "stop trying to be smart, I know what I am doing" signal.

Awesome let me know how it goes! It works really well for me.

Jeroen (Jay) ter Heerdt @dutchdatadude.bsky.social · 28/11/2025
For sure but it's scary to see there are people in the industry that are not aware or choose to ignore this. They are all around and put too much stock in the output. I am afraid the masses will do the same.

Jeroen (Jay) ter Heerdt @dutchdatadude.bsky.social · 28/11/2025
No, not my area, but if you can share a detailed repro on my email happy to pass it along to the right folks.

For sure, but to claim they have a "deep understanding of coding" is a blatant lie. Cc @sqlgene.com
