I Need Coffee - Episode 198 - Weekly BC Review!

from Steve Endow's Business Central Podcast · host Steve Endow

I Need Coffee - Episode 198 - Weekly BC Review! (january 23, 2026)1. Weekend & Personal Life    - Oil change + mobile office setup at dealership (good remote work test via SonicWall & tethering).     - Weekend mostly a blur due to cold; little memory of non-work activities.2. Weekly Work & Projects   - Preparing Vibe conference presentations (co-presenting with Tanya & David Ler).     - Progress on Partner Dashboard app, Teams Planner, maintenance/service agreement pricing.     - New AppSource app now live in production → surprises (obscure permissions, out-of-sequence user actions).3. AI / "Vibe Coding" Experiences*    - Discussion of agentic/AI development tools & efficiency (podcast appearance on "Window on Technology" with Jeremy Vyska).     - "Vibe coding" experiments → fast prototyping but bad code ("Michael Jackson" style), bugs in PTEs, performance profiler revealing excessive events.     - Critique of viral "live stream to $1M revenue" vibe-coding project (crypto coin pivot turned him off).4. Time Zone Challenges in Business Central     - Job queues, tenant time zones, DST issues → built custom time zone management with nightly refresh.     - Surprising bug: one Mexican time zone causes 1-hour offset in license validation timestamp.5. Edge Cases & Production Surprises     - Repeated theme: bizarre, unforeseeable sequences of events and bugs appearing only in production/real usage.     - Philosophy shift → "bugs are actively finding us".6. DynamicsCon Session Review     - Reviewing hundreds of submissions → humorous observations on self-awarded titles ("world-renowned", "expert", "wizard").7. Cybersecurity & OSINT     - Mind-blowing OSINT webinar (Anti-Cyphon / Michelle Khan): doxing via voter records, insurance databases, hotel Wi-Fi room enumeration, GitHub email exposure, etc.     - Ransomware hitting a partner → reminder of real risk.     - Recent attacks: Fortinet firewalls/portal bypasses, Cloudflare WAF zero-day.8. Security / AI Critique    - Zach Corman interview breakdown of MCP servers (Anthropic-related) → horribly insecure single-endpoint design, prompt injection risks.9. Integrations & Pain Points   - Nightmare Salesforce → BC integration (customized, messy data model, years-long project).     - Completed painful but successful Bill.com + Multi-Entity Management (MEM) integration.10. Team & El Salvador Updates     - ERP Center of Excellence in Berlin, El Salvador: team studying (MB-800), building Partner Dashboard, payment portal, custom reports.      - Fatima passed PMP exam; planning local Dynamics user group.11. Upcoming Events & Personal     - Partner & Vibe conference (next week, Texas).      - Directions NA (late April, Orlando?), DynamicsCon (May, Las Vegas), etc.      - Personal: prom escort practice with daughter, standing desk experiment, at-home AI-generated workouts, key person insurance research.12. Closing Notes      - Shout-out to Mauricio (podcast producer).      - Light-hearted sign-off: cats, coffee, Claudebot/AI lobster project.
