There’s a moment when AI stops feeling like a toy and starts doing real work. Not a demo. Not a trick. Actual progress while you’re still thinking. If you haven’t hit that moment yet, you might think all of this is overhyped. 🔗https://lnkd.in/e4n4ygcZ

Most AI still feels like it’s performing. Looks & sounds good, but not actually that useful. Then you hit something that hands you work you can use, and it resets your expectations. That’s the shift we’re seeing. It came up in a big way this week. 🔗https://lnkd.in/e-t9Z3bj

There’s a gap most teams just accept. You can see the solution. You can explain it. Everyone agrees it makes sense. And then… it sits there waiting for someone else to build it. That gap between knowing and building has been the bottleneck for a long time. What’s changing now is that you don’t always have to wait your turn. The people closest to the problem can finally build something themselves. That’s a very different game. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e7Sn7kas

You can tell pretty quickly if an AI tool is the real deal. If your first instinct is to rewrite it, it’s still a demo. If your first instinct is to keep going, now we’re getting somewhere. That line is moving. Not everywhere. But enough to notice. 🔗https://lnkd.in/e-t9Z3bj

Some people think they've already experienced AI because they asked a chatbot a question. Got a summary. Maybe drafted an email. That's not the real shift. That's a preview. The real change happens when AI stops talking about work and starts participating in it — inside the files, meetings, conversations, and documents where work already lives. Microsoft's Copilot Cowork is worth paying attention to. Rob and Justin unpack why in the latest Raw Data episode. 🎙️ https://p3ada.pt/cowork

FABCON week is here! Thousands of people talking about Microsoft Fabric. Architecture debates everywhere. And a lot of questions about how this platform actually works once you start building real systems. Good thing our Fabric rockstar Kristyna Ferris will be there all week. If you're heading to FABCON, stop in and say hello.

Chicago got the opening track on the Chaos to Clarity tour today. Fabric rockstar Kristyna Ferris kicked things off at SQL Saturday Chicago with a pre-conference workshop on modern data warehousing in Microsoft Fabric. If you missed her today, don't worry. She's back tomorrow with Decoding Fabric Licensing, a session that untangles the SKUs, pricing models, and capacity choices that tend to trip teams up once organizations start scaling. If you're at SQL Saturday Chicago, come catch the next set: Decoding Fabric Licensing March 14, 2026 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM SQL Saturday Chicago

Every tour needs a Chicago stop, so our very own Fabric rockstar, Kristyna Ferris, is bringing the Chaos to Clarity tour to Data Saturday in Chicago to talk about building data warehouses in Microsoft Fabric. Kristyna brings her Microsoft MVP perspective and a ton of hard-won Fabric experience to the stage. The patterns that work, the architecture decisions that matter, and the things that look simple until real workloads arrive. If you’re heading to Data Saturday Chicago, make sure this one is on your list.

If an AI tool doesn't change how work gets done today, it usually stays on the sidelines. That's why a lot of technically strong AI projects fail quietly. Timing is the missing piece. New blog: https://lnkd.in/gWQYZf9G

Quick test for any AI project: Who’s losing sleep over the problem? If the answer is nobody, adoption might get shaky. The AI wins we keep seeing all start the same way. Someone feels the pain personally. https://lnkd.in/gbBenj7X
