I didn’t plan on writing this, but judging by my LinkedIn feed, the tide has turned – and everyone’s kicking AI while it’s down. “AI can’t do math.”“AI fails logical problems.”“AI hallucinates and lies.” Sure, sometimes it does. But here’s the question: why did we expect anything else? What we mostly call “AI” today are… Read More »
Some of us would say GPT 5 has failed to deliver. With all those posts trying to count characters or ask GPT 5 to solve logical problems where it keeps failing more often than not, it’s not that difficult to see why that would be happening. I don’t necessarily agree, even though one thing is… Read More »
We keep saying that developers are not just “coders” – they have to understand requirements, they have to participate in the meetings, they have to do the estimates, they have to do demos, they have to process feedback, they have to implement proper security, etc. So, of course, an AI coding agent can’t replace developers.… Read More »
I’ve been doing some things wrong with Liquid, I just did not know it, as usual… Take a look at the screenshot below, make not of those bold red “FALSE”-s, and notice how there are always… ALWAYS… braces surrounding the actual condition at least somewhere in the if statement in such cases: I’ll have the… Read More »
I’m definitely new to a lot of things on the AI side. Luckily, that’s understandable given that AI itself is relatively new. However, I tend to learn things through personal experiences, which means I can read about something, but it does not necessarily stick. It works much better when I spend some time trying things… Read More »
As you are probably aware, you can bypass custom plugin execution logic in your code by adding this kind of code: request.Parameters.Add(“BypassBusinessLogicExecution”, “CustomSync,CustomAsync”); This is as per the link below: Bypass custom Dataverse logic – Power Apps | Microsoft Learn What I did not realize, though, is that the user account running this code needs… Read More »
Every now and then, you may need a plugin to run for any entity, but, when registering a plugin step using the plugin registration tool, you may notice that you are unable to filter such steps by attribute since that option is simply disabled: Which makes sense, since, for the most part, columns are table-specific,… Read More »
I’ve long being using Update action of the Dataverse connector to do “upserts”, and it just turned out there are, now (have been for a while?), two separate actions: Update a rowUpsert a row Behind the scenes “Upsert a row” is the old good “UpdateRecord” action. And “Update a row” is a new “UpdateOnlyRecord” action.… Read More »
I think whoever came up with the term “prompt engineering” may have misunderstood what “engineering” is. Alternatively, they might have honestly hoped the art of composing those AI prompts would turn into the actual engineering; but, I think, so far it has not happened, and it’s probably unlikely to happen. Just look at how “engineering” is… Read More »
I know the title of this post may sound like what a conspiracy theorist would have said. However, even if we are being driven to extinction through the use of AI, I don’t think it’s being done intentionally. That makes it anything but conspiracy. The world around us is largely ignorant of our desire for… Read More »
