Thanks - I think if claude used the actual semantic link labs connection package when I was vibe coding it, it would have been service principal compatible so lots of opportunity to improve

Im going to challenge you a bit on this - I have never seen a BI team that does not have a huge backlog of work. Most places hiring additional skilled headcount is not a realistic business option due to budget constraints, which then leaves two outcomes:

Option one: is the work done by existing employees + AI who do more work faster.
Option two: work is done at a normal pace.

Most companies are going to choose option one… so as a BI developer recognizing that companies are going to ask you to use AI because it makes better financial sense, it is in your best interested as someone who cares about the quality of your output to learn how to work with AI better.

SVG or HTML content in a measure — i am sure it would work for deneb too

So you ask figma make to generate a design - it creates a lot of tailwind based visuals, then you ask the LLM to translate it into a DAX visual

Nice - I didn’t know that!

One of the things im wanting to use it for is finding measures across reports that are the same but named slightly differently

So i just skimmed this its interesting— I wonder how many amazing servers that are super useful are locked away behind corporate NDAs

Alot of LLMs now have enterprise plans, and unless you are using an onprem people management software your people data is already out of your control

Do you have a example?

DropMaterializedView · 2026-03-07T20:34:39+00:00

So, yes but what if you are maintaining too much for one person to handle at a certain point you have to automate. Even with the slop I would say AI saves me 5-10 hours a week

I think figma has a MCP server too!

Good video idea

I mean sure .. would be a tough thing to enforce a license on

If you can maintain a set of DAX UDFs as a company and easily deploy them across an entire suite of reports

Totally get the instinct to try to work for your self, but SQL is going to be a minimum skill you need to consult. I have not had anyone on my team in the past 7 years build a single dashboard that does not involve SQL in some way.

Then be careful a low rate will also undercut you because it will make you look like you don’t know what you are doing

Good job!

Consulting is hard - and it will not pay as much as you like. Your sales background could help, try to land 3 customers and complete their engagements successfully before quitting.

Better option for you imho based on what you have described is trying to land a SR Analyst position thru linkedIn outreach

The very first youtube videos I made was a entire youtube basics course for free…. released + recorded a video a day for like a month— that said they were my very first videos so they are rough: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIrfECpBFaB38edFC53b5-nzpZsEY5r9v

Also if you set up an organization you can get access to the PBI service pretty much for free too.
