Python is not the language of AI inside the Microsoft stack, and that belief inflates defects and burns budgets in Power Platform projects. · When to Use Python in Power Platform Automation
Azure Open Datasets gives you instant access to curated public datasets hosted by Microsoft in Azure, so you can spend less time searching for and cleaning data and more time building AI, analytics, and machine learning solutions. Instead of downloading files…
Python is NOT the language of AI inside the Microsoft stack—and in this episode, I show you why that belief is quietly wrecking your Power Platform projects, inflating defects, and burning your budget. If you’re cramming Python into Power Automate, Power BI…
In this episode of M365.FM – Modern work, security, and productivity with Microsoft 365, the host explains why most organizations misunderstand Microsoft Power Platform and how to engineer it for real, scalable, hybrid automation. Instead of treating Power…
This episode performs an “autopsy” on why classical optimization collapses on NP-hard problems and how hybrid quantum methods, especially QAOA on Azure, can triage them. It explains qubits, superposition, entanglement, and interference as tools for exploring…
Microsoft just made Python “run natively” inside Power Platform — and chaos followed. From Copilot Studio’s Code Interpreter to Azure Functions, everyone’s suddenly a Python dev… until the flows time out, the files hit 512 MB, and IT gets a heart attack. In…
Azure Quantum is opening the door to the next era of computing, and in this episode we explore how Microsoft’s Quantum Development Kit gives developers everything they need to start building and testing real quantum programs today. You’ll learn what Azure…
Stop torturing your laptop. Train models where the data lives. With Microsoft Fabric notebooks running on Spark next to your Lakehouse, you skip CSV exports, move terabytes at query speed, and iterate in Python or R without memory crashes. Push transforms to…
Your Compliance Dashboard Is Lying to You: The Microsoft Graph Endpoints That Expose Hidden Risk (and How to Wire Them into Purview) If your M365 compliance reports always feel a step behind, you’re missing entire categories of incidents that never hit the…
Everyone wants Copilot and agents, but fragmented data and weak governance undermine trustworthy answers. Mirko Peters talks with Walter Calcagno about Microsoft Fabric, semantic models, ontology layers, metadata and his AI readiness approach. Data…
Stop wrestling Power BI with endless clicks. Microsoft Fabric Notebooks let you prep, model, and feature-engineer data end-to-end—in Python or R—right inside your Lakehouse with Spark scale and Git governance. This guide shows a proven workflow: ingest to…
The podcast featured discussions among experts on Microsoft Fabric's data management tools, focusing on data flows, pipelines, notebooks, shortcuts, and stored procedures. The conversation highlighted the strengths and limitations of each tool, emphasizing…

Frequently asked questions
How can I access Azure Open Datasets?
You can access them through tools like Python, Power BI and Azure Machine Learning. Because the datasets are free and high quality, you can focus on generating insights instead of data preparation. · From the episode: Azure Open Datasets - Simply Explained
Should you use Python in Power Automate?
The episode says generally not for everyday orchestration. Python suits analytics, ML and Fabric notebooks, but as glue code in Power Automate it adds defects and cost without adding capability. · From the episode: When to Use Python in Power Platform Automation
What is Python good for in the Microsoft stack?
Analytics, machine learning and Fabric notebooks. These are the areas where the episode says Python shines, in contrast to orchestration inside Power Automate, Dataflows Gen2, Dataverse and Microsoft 365. · From the episode: When to Use Python in Power Platform Automation
What are alternatives to Python glue code?
Office Scripts, which are TypeScript-flavoured, Copilot and agent-style orchestration. The episode says these can write and run the glue for you with typed contracts instead of fragile scripts. · From the episode: When to Use Python in Power Platform Automation
Why does glue code in Python inflate defects?
Forcing it into Power Automate, Dataflows Gen2 or custom connectors adds extra moving parts and untyped integration points. The episode links this directly to higher defect counts and a burning budget. · From the episode: When to Use Python in Power Platform Automation
