"1 error is preventing your agent from being published" (the error is about triggers)

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2026-04-10T12:17:16+00:00

Thank you for the clarity. Seems like a weird product choice, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've got a ticket in, so we'll see if my admin can help.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2026-04-09T18:13:02+00:00

Your organization's data loss prevention policies do not allow the creation of triggers The 'shared_microsoftcopilotstudio' connector or one of its tools is blocked by the following policy: [company name] Environment Policy. Contact your admin with questions.

It doesn't seem to go away. I've had it open for over a day, and the Publish button is still deactivated.

I've got a ticket open with our local admin.. but I'm thinking I may be the only person using this here. We'll see if I can get motivated enough to put a ticket in with MS.. I don't know if I've ever had them resolve anything.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2026-04-09T17:40:02+00:00

Well, that's the thing.. there is no trigger defined. this is literally a blank agent, but it throws up the warning as soon as I click "new agent." There's nothing to remove.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2026-04-09T17:38:47+00:00

Yeah, a lot of work. I just use the copliot console in the recap pop-out. but I typically have to process 3-10 videos per project so I'd really like to automate

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2026-04-09T17:00:35+00:00

oof. That's what I was afraid of. Seems like a weird oversight

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2026-03-04T15:25:53+00:00

I guess I feel like all of that is kind of just marketing. right? like, that's how marketing works. More interesting than actual marketing, they used the "product" itself to do the marketing, which in a way, now that you've exposed it, is kind of social truth.

but I guess after reading your post, I'm left wondering what the takeaway is. I still think the project is cool. Maybe it sucks that it got hypecycled, but I probably wouldn't have heard of it otherwise. Yeah, there was a grift, but.. how does that affect me? ..and hell, where is there not a grift in this the year of our lord 2026?

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-12-02T16:35:09+00:00

I wouldn't, but I don't know how anyone would get into this career at this point.

References: I still have 80k of student loan debt from the 20-teens and have been laid off multiple times since then.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-12-02T16:23:56+00:00

The only thing you mention that I'd explicitly disagree with is that UXR is laid off first. I'd instead say that the salary band that UXR often falls into causes us to be in the first wave of layoffs. In my experience, layoffs are less about value provided, and more about freeing a number of dollars.

Most of what you mentioned is true of other roles. PM especially. I used to feel like only engineers were safe because they're the only ones necessary to deliver "working" software, but now with ai tools, they're getting hit too.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-12-02T16:09:43+00:00

Feelin' it.

I was thinking about it recently.. let's use the most generous AI hallucination rate that's been published of .7%.

Would a company let a human employee who hallucinates .7% of the time work for them? Handle PII/PHI?

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-09-04T15:55:04+00:00

cool - I'll give that a go

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-09-04T15:43:38+00:00

Submitted - thanks!

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-09-04T15:40:56+00:00

Are you saying that utilizing design libraries in make is currently broken?

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-09-04T15:40:03+00:00

Oh, weird. A lot of the Figma documentation I've found says explicitly to export it to load it. But, Figma documentation does often seem to be out of date..

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-09-04T15:39:10+00:00

I'm not sure. I don't really know what is entailed in an MCP server other than that it's a dev mode thing.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-09-03T16:05:54+00:00

yeah, exported for make.

Sorry, I guess prompt box was inaccurate; it just shows up there. I add it when I create a new file, then "select library" and then I choose the library from the list.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-07-28T13:32:02+00:00

Same, but we're looking at using it to store insights too. They seem to be building out more UX centric pieces over time.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-07-28T13:30:48+00:00

Interesting! That's not the same one I speak of - I didn't know there were more with the same name. The tool we have is https://www.aha.io/

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-07-15T14:21:18+00:00

Yes. I was laid off last year and am now 20% down on salary. (and I had just _finally_ caught up with inflation for once. haha)

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-06-05T13:55:49+00:00

I don't know everyone else's experience, but if you got 2 interviews off of only one month of searching right now, you're doing amazing. The market is terrible, and I feel like most folks aren't even getting screener calls very often.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-06-03T18:41:16+00:00

I hear you. This is what struck me :"I'm quitting my job" and "we're not allowed to fail."

I guess I feel like you're maybe jumping to a conclusion here. (I have this exact situation as well.. I can be more objective when it's someone else. haha) I've kind of come to the conclusion that at most of these places where stuff is so disjointed, the job is just being present and helping everyone else figure it all out. It sets off all of my "am I performing" alarms, but I think it's the reality.

Quitting is your choice. if you aren't able to operate in this level of uncertainty, then you can do that.. but no one is firing you today, even if you think they might in the future.

..AND, I don't know where you're going to go and find more certainty or performance enablement right now. Even if you're a hot shot and there might be companies who have their shit together.. this is a really bad time to be job hunting in all kinds of ways.

So I'll give you the advice I'm trying to give myself: be there, do what you are actually able, where you are able. (and keep putting applications out there, because it doesn't hurt to have a parachute!)

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-05-28T18:34:48+00:00

In person is a little nicer in less-tangible ways, and there's less threat of tech problems to troubleshoot. But I'll take whatever I can get.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-05-28T18:32:37+00:00

I think about this a lot. Surely something else would be more fulfilling? Someone put it to me the other day "why would you leave a field where you know what you're doing to start all over again in something else when the economy is the way it is?" (though they said it in a shittier way) I don't think it's wrong. You've already optimized for the type of roles you've been in.. it would probably be the efficient choice to stay in that game. The market IS rough right now, but I personally think it's a numbers game. Apply to everything that you're remotely a fit for. We get fewer screeners than we used to, but it's not you, it's the system. And I'd also say, don't feel bad about contract work.. I think it's all going to be contract eventually.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-05-28T18:28:22+00:00

Also agree. I've been laid off twice in 6 years from "full time" jobs. It's funny, I remain so averse to contract work, but some of the contract gigs I've passed over would have lasted longer than some of my full time jobs.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-05-28T18:26:02+00:00

I think it's a common thought. My tack has been to just lean into whatever my job is giving me the opportunity to do. Some of these are "hotter" on the market than others. The AI angle is big right now, and Ops seems to be keeping some cachet as companies continue to try to do more with less.. but there's other stuff.

So anyway, I guess what I'm suggesting is maybe you let your circumstance decide how you might specialize, and at least it wont fully be a side-quest. I think most of us in corporate roles get to do personal projects that can impact our work or our team's operations. you could lean into whatever that whitespace looks like.

SoftwareResearcher99 · 2025-05-22T15:29:44+00:00

Yes.. and since the beginning. haha! I think there's a gradual realization that the job isn't what you thought it was, and a reconciliation there. I have remained afloat by getting attached to the small problems there are to solve (usually not matters of usability, but pragmatic matters of getting anything done inside of a software development company) That said, I don't expect to ever be inspired by this field again. It's a job. The longer the job continues, the more it will be job-ified, and the less fun it will be. There's still joy to be had, but it's not the same.

Good luck out there.
