Your M365 Copilot agent isn't ignoring your instructions by accident.

There's a hidden default workflow overriding your prompt engineering.

I'm breaking down the problem and the fix in my next newsletter issue today!

The Microsoft Teams documentation is scattered, incomplete, and often outdated. If you've tried to learn Teams development from the official docs, you already know this.

There's no clear path from "I want to build an app" to "I shipped to production."

You can't build production Teams apps from documentation alone. You need expert guidance, real examples, and someone to help when you get stuck.

That's what my workshop provides. Feb 10-19.

The best Teams developers I know didn't start with AI bots. They started with tabs - the foundation that everything else builds on.

🎟️ Learn Teams app fundamentals in my Feb 10-19 workshop: vtns.io/fghfz1

#MicrosoftTeams #WebDevelopment

Most developers start Microsoft Teams development backwards - jumping into bots and AI before understanding tabs and personal apps. That's why they struggle.

Master the foundation first. Everything else gets easier.

I've been teaching #SharePointFramework development for years.

I can tell you this with certainty 👉 the gulp-to-Heft transition is where most teams will struggle in 2026.

Not because #Heft is bad. It's actually better designed for complex scenarios.
