  1. AI & agents

    One agent is an integration. A hundred is a governance problem.

    Agents got production identities before they got a stable way to record what they did. Microsoft Entra Agent ID is generally available, with sponsors and expiry dates. The OpenTelemetry conventions for agent traces are still experimental.

  2. AI & agents

    Agents decide. Code executes. Knowing the line is the job.

    The promise is that agents replace applications. In the systems we build, they do not. An agent is very good at understanding a request, weighing options and choosing a tool. It is the wrong place for a payment, a tax rule or a permission check. This is where the line falls, and why putting it in the wrong place is expensive.

    SPFx 1.23.2: upgrading is not changing a number

    The previous version was pulled from npm for regressions, and that is the warning: the risk of upgrading the SharePoint Framework is almost never in the SharePoint runtime, it is in the build. What changed in Heft, in Sass and in npm audit, with the code showing how it was, how it is, and how it will be.

    The state of SharePoint in 2026: what is gone, what is current, and what to build on

    Every year someone declares SharePoint dead. It never was. But in a matter of months, real parts of it reached the end of the line: SharePoint Online Add-ins and Azure ACS for SharePoint Online retired in April, and SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019, InfoPath and SharePoint Designer left support in July. Here is what actually ended, what replaced it, and what to build on now, on-premises and in the cloud.
