In this episode of Dynamics Corner, Kris and Brad talk with Matt Traxinger, Development Leader, Archer Point, who manages over 50 developers, and Tonya Bricco-Meske, also known as the “BC Cat Lady.” Their conversation doesn’t fit into any usual conference track, and that’s the point. They discuss what it’s really like to run a large development team when AI tools keep changing, credits cost real money, and there’s no playbook to follow. Matt shares a key idea: instead of trying to work faster, focus on getting more done in the same amount of time. Tanya explains how this works in practice. Her team is finally able to tackle tasks they never had time for before, such as tests, performance benchmarks, and edge cases. They’re also figuring out who should get access to the expensive models and who used up their credits too quickly. Matt describes his design workflow, which got some strong reactions. How do you estimate a project when AI might finish it in minutes, but the credits could cost more than the billable hours? How do you keep standards consistent across a hundred developers, especially when half aren’t even on your team? And the big question: are these models already learning from content made by earlier models?

In this episode of Dynamics Corner, Kris and Brad talk with Steven Renders about two topics that every implementation faces but often struggles with: training and reporting. Steven shares why training should start before go-live and tells a story about how early training helped a customer avoid building something that already existed in the product. The discussion then moves to a common question for both partners and customers: with options like RDLC, Word, Excel, Power BI, analysis mode, and scorecards, which tool should you use, and when? Steven explains the differences clearly, shares a useful Power BI tip that many people miss, and points out a detail about analysis mode that got Brad excited. Since Microsoft is moving away from RDLC, one type of report could become the primary option. You'll find out which one it is when you listen. Check out this episode.

In this episode of Dynamics Corner, Kris and Brad sit down with Microsoft MVP Miljan Milosavljević, an active contributor to Microsoft's repos, for a wide-ranging conversation that ranges from post-conference highlights to a question nobody in the BC world has fully answered yet. Miljan drops a stat that catches everyone's attention: 95% of his code is now generated by GitHub Copilot, and he's doing it with almost no instruction files, no subagents, and no elaborate setup. Just clean prompts and a growing sense of where to push the tool harder. But the conversation takes its most interesting turn when Miljan raises the topic that every BC developer quietly dreads: report layouts. Microsoft is clearly pushing Word layouts as the future, and RDLC's days are numbered — but can AI build those layouts? Miljan's been testing it, and the results are promising but incomplete. What would it take to get from "here's my invoice" to a fully mapped, production-ready layout? But it's Miljan's closing observation that might stick with you longest, his kids already call him "JGPT," and he's starting to wonder: when we let AI do all the thinking, what happens to the brain that used to do it for us?
