Sunday thought: The gap between "D365 F&O" (Finance) and "D365 CE" (CRM) is finally closing thanks to Dataverse & Dual Write.
The future is "One Dynamics." If you only know one side, start reading about the other.

Clean up your GitHub.
If you link it in your resume, I will click it. If I see a "Hello World" repo from 2019 and nothing else, it looks lazy. Pin your best 3 repositories to the top.

Bootstrap 5 support is great, but the Liquid styling curve is still steep for low-code users. If you know HTML/CSS/Liquid, you can charge a premium right now.

The "Citizen Developer" saturation is real. There are thousands of people who can build a "Holiday Request App."
There are very few who can build an "ERP Integration with Error Handling." Move towards the hard technical problems if you want job security.

Dataverse "Virtual Tables" are underrated.
Why replicate data from SQL into Dataverse if you don't have to? Virtual tables let you CRUD data sitting in SQL without moving it. Less storage cost, real-time access. Work smarter.

Microsoft Licensing is a full-time job in itself. 💸
Client: "Why do we need a Premium license for this app?" You: "Because we are hitting SQL Azure."
If you can explain the difference between "Per App" and "Per User" plans clearly to a CFO, you are invaluable.

Stop hardcoding GUIDs in your flows! 😫
If you are referencing a specific record ID in a Power Automate flow, it will break the moment you move it to Production. Use Environment Variables. This is day-one stuff, but I still see Seniors making this mistake.

"Willing to learn" is a wasted bullet point on a resume. Everyone is willing to learn. 🗑️
Instead, prove you can learn. "Self-taught Power FX in 3 weeks and deployed an app for HR." "Passed PL-400 while working full-time."

Sunday Scaries? 👻
If you are dreading logging into your D365 environment tomorrow, it might be the project, not the career. The ecosystem is huge. Don't like CRM? Try ERP. Don't like generic dev? Try specialized Power BI reporting.
Pivot, don't quit.

Weekend Project Idea: Build a custom connector.
Don't rely on the standard connectors. Find a public API (like OpenWeather or Spotify), build a custom wrapper, and pull that data into a Canvas App. Great practice for understanding JSON and authentication.

If I have to message you 3 times to get a status update, you aren't a remote worker; you're a bottleneck. Over-communicating is the secret to getting promoted while working from home.
