It's good to know people like @markpm.bsky.social. From time to time, he shares fun code snippets with me that make life easier. For example, did you know you can find some fun info like item type or item id using DATABASEPROPERTYEX?

On a positive Teams note, the option to filter messages to just "unread" and "mark all as read" may not be life changing, but they sure are close. #OrganizeTeamsChaos

Tagging @​Everyone on a Teams chat with 682 people should result in the offending employee being put on an immediate action plan.

What do you think, should @​Everyone even be an option?

Less than 2 weeks until June which mean mid-year digital cleanup is about to be underway. Excited to delete everything from the Azure resource group, remove all my Fabric workspaces, move email to an archive file, and I may archive EVERYTHING in OneDrive/OneNote and start over. I can't wait!

Yes! You can finally call the Fabric GET SQL Database API and return the REAL connection string and database name!

I'll sleep tomorrow night; I see Fabric benchmark framework updates in my future!

For any of my content building friends, one of the best things I've discovered with Reddit Premium is Answers and being able to ask something like "What are common issues people have about {X topic}" and BOOM!

You've got your next set of how-to articles to focus on that are frequently asked.
