566 - "I can't stand the amount of junk." Skip the AI slop flooding your feed and go find real people doing real things on the internet. Follow the ones you actually like and hang out with them. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw... #community #ai #content #learning #bi

566 - These guys read the releases and play with new tools two days after launch. They still feel behind. So everyone else is probably feeling miles behind, and that's the whole point. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw... #ai #powerbi #community #bi #learning

566 - The anxiety is real and the answer is short. You don't have to be afraid of losing your job. The people who engage with actual users and gather requirements become more valuable, because that skill scales across everything. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

566 - Straight answer for everyone anxious right now: your job isn't getting automated. Stay focused on business problems and the people reading your reports and you get more important, not less. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
566 - Defining how your org visualizes data is context, and it belongs to your organization. Shipments, monthly, compared to budget, accumulating month to date by workday. Write that down. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
566 - The planning docs are off limits to the agent. "That's my house." Agents derail a plan in subtle ways, so they get research and adversarial challenges instead, never the pen. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw... #aiagents #planning #workflow #ai #bi

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
566 - 80% of agent development time goes into context, not execution. Notion holds the second brain plus master sequence pages that tell Claude where the project left off and what instructions to load next. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
566 - Power BI project format is mandatory. Git is strongly recommended because you will have a booboo. Then pick your path for editing visual metadata, and get real examples in front of the agent before anything else. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
566 - "I'm very stubborn about not telling people you should do this." Different memory files, different agents, different terminals. Hand someone your exact setup and their results still won't match yours. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
566 - The model, the context, the prompt, the tools, the environment. Five building blocks, and the Tabular Editor series has been walking through them since August. You don't need expert depth, you need to know what's out there. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
566 - The Power BI community locks onto every new tool and feature. But the goal isn't getting the plane off the ground, it's flying somewhere. Too many people spend all their time iterating on the airport. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
566 - Exploring with agents feels like a Starcraft map with fog of war. Scout fast, figure out if this map is worth your time, and bail early if it isn't. Find a couple of radio towers and the rest lights up. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
566 - Once agents start working for you, results come faster and you want to floor it. That's exactly when to pump the brakes, because success gets narrow fast. The plane is off the ground, so now the real piloting starts. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

566 - Last Tuesday the answer was no. Brownfield edits and bulk changes, sure, but a good looking report from scratch with an agent? "You're gonna have a bad time." Then Wednesday through Sunday happened. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
566 - People hit a wall and immediately reach for the biggest model available. For Power BI reports, Opus Low handles it. Speed and consistency beat raw power when you're iterating. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
566 - Requirements gathering used to be a fight for one or two weeks of time. Now that documentation feeds your org's context bank and your ontology, so it pays forward into everything you build next. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
566 - Old workflow: whiteboard, Excalidraw, then Power BI Desktop, then back again. In January that stopped. Everything moved to the web once the agents got better browser control. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
566 - Everyone asks for an MCP server for Power BI reports. You can't bolt one on and expect magic. Ask an agent to color the data bars and it has to know that's "data point fill," which is only true for some charts. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
566 - Semantic models have decent tooling. Reports are still rigid and slow, and clicking through the interface eats hours. The open question is how much of that friction an agent can strip out. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
566 - Blunt take: if your org has no data governance, hold off on AI entirely. The same naming mess that breaks reports breaks agents faster. A baseball and a basketball got different names for a reason. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
566 - You say "customer" and the AI has to guess. Bronze layer? Lakehouse shortcut? The sales version or the HR one? Six different tables carry that word, and nobody wrote down which one you meant. www.youtube.com/live/8z7ZTsw...

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Build the feature, open the pull request, let an agent review it, file new issues, send another round of agents at them. That loop is starting to look like an assembly line for code. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #github #aiagents #devworkflow #automation

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
No way to render a Power BI report on Linux outside a browser. So skip Desktop entirely. Build locally with the agent, auto publish as a thin report, embed the live version back in the browser. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #linux #fabric #aiagents

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Vite updates the one bit of JavaScript that changed. Desktop Bridge is a full rerender, the complete opposite. And publishing PBIR means pushing every file, sometimes thousands, to fix one visual. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #pbir #fabricapi #devtools

OpenClaw and Hermes had full computer control and the advice was unanimous: keep that off your real machine. Sandboxes were the answer then. That whole habit has since moved somewhere else. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #aiagents #sandboxing #openclaw #security

Every WSL distro is one VHDX file. Copied a substantial one off an Azure VM straight down to a local PC, imported it, and it rocked on the first boot. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #wsl #azure #vscode #devsetup

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Every dev workload moved to WSL, and it lined up almost exactly with coding agents showing up. Codex still fights Windows over sandboxing, which stopped being a problem once Linux took the compute. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #wsl #linux #codingagents #devsetup

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Not just asking for a notebook. Tasking an agent to go research a problem and figure out your slowly changing dimensions. Data engineering is due for a big shakeup. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #dataengineering #aiagents #fabric #analytics

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Shipped a piece of software in Rust the other day without knowing Rust. Told the agent what to build and asked how it works. Bigger projects, less time, still real value. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #rust #aicoding #agents #softwaredev

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Power BI since 2015, and Desktop meant Windows from day one. Threw Linux on an old laptop once and loved how snappy it felt. Never got to stay. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #linux #windows #devsetup

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Back in February it felt like Microsoft wasn't getting the game. No way to point agents at Fabric work. Credit where it's due, there's now a semantic modeling skill that talks straight to TMDL. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #fabric #microsoft #aiagents

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Linus built Linux and still says he wouldn't wish that pain on anyone. One change breaks everything downstream. Someone's taking it on anyway, with a community and a team of agents behind them. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #linux #omarchy #opensource #aiagents

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Verbatim from David: I'm gonna fire up a team of agents to go look at all the issues and pull requests. That's his own project, diagnosing itself. Small window into where dev work goes next. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #aiagents #github #opensource #softwaredev

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Power BI Desktop stopped being the go to tool, and PBIR sealed it. Desktop Bridge is the interesting part: the agent edits the files, tells Desktop to refresh, then screenshots what it built. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #pbir #desktopbridge #aiagents

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
An OS ships with a write up the issue skill and it lands differently. Data pipelines need that. Semantic models need that. Users hit a gap and something should write up what's missing. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #dataengineering #aiagents #fabric

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Microsoft's intelligent terminal gives an agent your terminal context. This goes further. The agent owns the full scope of the OS, so it's already there wherever you are. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #omarchy #linux #aiagents #terminal

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
The whole OS is built around never touching the mouse. Everything hangs off the power key, workspaces snap open fast, and yes, it runs VS Code. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #omarchy #linux #keyboardfirst #devtools

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Omarchy is Linux with an agent bolted into the operating system. Something breaks anywhere in the OS and you fire an issue straight to GitHub. Two skills ship with it to handle the rest. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #omarchy #linux #aiagents #devtools

A user pokes at a report and asks what if I had this data too. The AI goes off, does the legwork, and comes back with a branch and a sample worth looking at. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #aiagents #fabric #datateams

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
A brand new external data source cracks the whole thing open. Live or staged, how you authenticate, whether it's a secret. More moves than a chess game, and plenty of them are bad. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #dataengineering #aiagents #dataanalytics
000
PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
A real challenge to the community: go learn PBIR and TMDL. Tableau and Qlik have nothing like them, and they're what lets an agent change part of a report instead of clicking every button. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #pbir #tmdl #fabric

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Existing pipelines, a working semantic model, and you want new pages and measures on top? That's a trivial problem now. Fully automatable today. The hard part starts somewhere else. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #powerbi #fabric #aiagents #dataanalytics

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Try writing a bug report for an animation. Before state, the click, the after state, the outcome you wanted. Words fall apart and screenshots blow your token budget. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #aicoding #bugreports #agents #uitesting

A dark factory runs with the lights off. No people, robots feeding themselves material all night. Now picture that same building, but what comes off the line is software. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #darkfactory #aiagents #softwaredev #automation

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
A harness still works in turns. You prompt, it grinds for hours, it comes back. In a dark factory that whole loop is one Lego block, and big brains are building the rest right now. youtube.com/live/Ir_eJB9... #aiagents #codingagents #darkfactory #softwareengineering

Early cars killed a lot of people. No signals, no seat belts, kids bouncing loose in the back seat. AI is at that exact stage of the story. youtube.com/live/l5A4b4o... #aisafety #techhistory #aipolicy #innovation #aipodcast

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Leave a session idle for an hour, send one prompt, and watch the cost jump. There's a specific reason, and it has nothing to do with your prompt. youtube.com/live/l5A4b4o... #aicost #llm #tokens #aiengineering #devtools

PowerBI.tips @powerbitips.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Automatic model routing sounds great until you see the bill. The engine picks the model, you pay its rate, and you barely get a say. youtube.com/live/l5A4b4o... #aicost #llm #aiengineering #tokens #devtools

Claude just discovered a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats. Real medical progress. The same capability points somewhere much darker, and that's the catch. youtube.com/live/l5A4b4o... #aisafety #biotech #anthropic #crispr #airesearch

Kurt's framework for surviving this next wave comes down to three Cs. Curious and creative are the easy ones. The third is where most people fall short. youtube.com/live/l5A4b4o... #aimindset #creativity #aitools #careeradvice #aipodcast
