521: Looking at AI Assisted Development

from Explicit Measures Podcast · host PowerBI.Tips

Mike & Tommy dive into Joachim's repo-based golden semantic model architecture, exploring whether AI-assisted development is making the classic thin-report pattern obsolete and how upcoming MCP servers for report modeling might reshape architectural decisions. They weigh the trade-offs between file-based AI edits and application-layer safety, discuss when splitting reports makes sense, and tackle the question of whether Power BI developers are becoming software engineers by another name.
