Agents hooked into GitHub can steal creds – but Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft haven't warned users

When you build AI agents, it’s tempting to think big. One smart assistant that can do everything. In practice, that rarely works. What does work: starting small, clearly defining the scope, and building iteratively. In this blog, I explain how we build AI agents step by step 👉

The Spire awakens once more in Steam Early Access on March 5, 2026! ⚔️ New characters, enemies, environments & more await you in Slay the Spire 2, the sequel to the iconic roguelike deckbuilder. Will you attempt the climb alone... or enlist the aid of your fellow adventurers?

I wasted $400 worth of Azure credits on Dataverse PAYG bills, only because I didn't check this one box. And that's just one environment in my personal tenant. Imagine how many customers are paying $48/GB/mo for #Dataverse when they could have used existing tenant-level entitlements.🤑

Success rate of Power Platform Monitor Alerts is now 31% after two months. Yes, you'd still be better off flipping a coin that trusting these Managed Environments features to alert you when your business process automation is failing.

Power Apps was powerful because of the "no cliffs" mantra. Because of the graphical and model-based designer experiences for app makers. AI agents like App Builder in M365 Copilot aren't like that. They are just an LLM, spitting out code for a React app. There is no "edit in Power Apps" button.

If you take Power Platform security serious, this blog post from @jukkan.bsky.social is a must read imo! And why not also become a paid subscriber to his perspective on Power Platform to support him?

The most useless "security" setting in Dynamics 365 and Power Apps is Export to Excel. Because there are numerous simple ways to take business data into a spreadsheet these days: www.perspectives.plus/p/you-can-al... #Dynamics365 #PowerApps #Excel

💡 Power Platform Meets Terraform Terraform your Power Platform: spin up environments, enforce DLP, and automate with Azure DevOps—explained by Brian Archer. 📺 Watch the demo → youtu.be/s20DNiE57H4 #PowerPlatform #Connectors #PowerAutomate

I decided to make it available via a GitHub repo, in case others want to set up their own #PowerPlatform Monitor test flows for monitoring the Monitor. github.com/jukkan/coin-...

After 20 days of testing #PowerPlatform Monitor alerts, the reliability rate is now 30%. So, the chances of you getting a correct alert from the system when your #PowerAutomate flow is not working are less than a coin flip on average.🪙

Metaverse gave us avatars with no legs. GenAI gave us AI assistants with no hands. Microsoft 365 Copilot is sold as your personal AI assistant. Yet it can't handle 1) creating Outlook appointments, 2) comparing Excel lists, 3) talking to it about your agenda. www.perspectives.plus/p/assistants...

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Prompt injection means email viruses are back. A researcher found a security vulnerability where you send an email with hidden instructions which when CoPilot scans the email, executes and then hides the source of the instructions. It took Microsoft 5 months to fix the issue.

I'm super happy to announce the release of my Power Platform Pipelines Framework. This is designed to help organisations adopt #Pipelines and think about the strategy around rolling this out, regardless of size. github.com/MattCollins-... #PowerPlatformPipelines #PowerPlatform #CommunityRocks #ALM

Wait. What is this? 😁 #PlanDesigner #PowerAddicts #PowerPlatform

PACo version 4.1.0 will be released on 2025-04-23. #PowerAddicts #PACo

I had a new experience this afternoon. A free fall for a few meters from a 20m high platform in a forest. The second time was fun 😁 Power Platform has a new meaning for me.

Do you know that feeling that you are working on something and cannot wait to tell others about it but not just yet...

Soon, very soon!, a new major version of hashtag#PACo will be released. The new canvas component shown in the video is just one of the many updates. www.formsandflows.nl/kookaburra/ #Microsoft #PowerPlatform #PowerAddicts

📯 Today, version 1.0.0 of Kookaburra has been released, being hopefully the start of a very interesting journey 🛣️ More info can be found here: www.linkedin.com/posts/rick72...

As of today, I have no WhatsApp anymore for my work mobile. I do have Signal.

You can expect news about Kookaburra coming week 😁

Thank you Graz. We had a great time 👊🏻

You can expect some good news about the open-source project "Kookaburra" later next week 🙂

Somehow, I have the feeling that this will be a good year for me 🤩 Part of this is the growth of my 5 open-source projects related to the #Microsoft #PowerPlatform. Providing good information about the projects is, and will be, key and you can expect some improvements there. www.formsandflows.nl
