Yes, all according to plan

Definitely interesting! I'm working on a course on AI for Power BI practitioners. So aimed more at the numpters instead of the numpties, but I'm definitely trying to get a handle on all the ways folks are using this stuff.

Did you mean to reply to a different post? That's super interesting but not super relevant to Running Fabric notebooks in VS code.

Testing various models. Claude Haiku got it wrong, GPT-5 Nano, and Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite got it right. All are fairly weak models.

It's just all a bit foreign to me so I feel a bit lost as to what it looks like in practice.

By deform, I mean things like deleting indexes, renaming columns with unintuitive names, adding garbage data, etc, etc.

@drewsk.bsky.social Related question, is there a better way to treat Adventureworks as a gold copy of a database and then "deform" it in certain ways, beyond restoring from backup and T-SQL scripts in git?

I imagine this is pretty far from the usual DB migration scripting people do.

To be clear, I'm interested in the best way to keep long-lived branches with specific differences from main.

I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around what the git workflow would look like for that, other than a bunch of branches and merging with main.

Maybe if you started a f*cking podcast you would be.
