In this episode, we dive deep into Microsoft’s evolving strategy: keeping Power BI as the semantic core while moving AI innovation into Fabric. We cover the latest updates like DAX User-Defined Functions, MXGP, and Fabric Graph, plus what they mean for teams building dashboards today.

We also explore the rise of agent-driven testing loops with Puppeteer and Playwright, and why “all-code” visual layers (like Plotly-style environments) may soon sit on top of Power BI models. Beyond the tools, we share real workflows using Cursor, Claude Code, and GPT-5—showing how AI acceleration is transforming both learning and development.

Finally, we talk career strategy: how to move beyond dashboards into full-stack AI professional roles, what job disruption really looks like, and where the biggest opportunities are emerging with MCP and custom data.

If you’re working in Power BI, Fabric, or AI development, this episode is your roadmap for staying ahead.
