I Need Coffee - Episode 213 - Weekly BC Review!

I Need Coffee - Episode 213 - Weekly BC Review! (June 12, 2026)1. Personal & Fun Updates- Served as part-time caterer: Grilled veggies and steaks for a 20–30 person potluck.- Discovered Loupe app (by @myk_co) — reveals extensive iOS device fingerprinting (copy/paste count, activation timestamps, reboot history, SSIDs, etc.). Highlights near-impossible anonymity on mobile devices, especially with roadside Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/ALPR tracking.2. Major Achievement: New Website Launch- 100% vibe-coded (500% AI-assisted) using Claude Code CLI.- Tech stack: Astro + TypeScript, Cloudflare Pages (free hosting), GitHub Actions for auto-deploy, Wrangler, Turnstile (CAPTCHA), Resend for contact forms.- Process: AI helped with design research, brief, full build, and maintenance.- Saved ~$7,000 compared to professional quote.- Easy ongoing maintenance (e.g., adding products, logos, summaries via AI).3. AI Usage & Proposal Workflow- Consistently uses AI for rapid deliverables: Record Teams call → transcript → combined FRD/PRD (10–15 pages) + 2–3 page executive summary proposal.- Total time: ~30-min call + 1 hour AI work.- Challenges with AI estimating hours (inconsistent task lists and ranges).- Claude 4.8 issues: Bizarre/abstract language, gibberish phrases, overconfidence, refusal to decide ("I am not deciding this for you"), hallucinations, and compounding design errors (e.g., unnecessary fields for 20-char Code constraints).4. Development & Product Updates- Multi-Entity Management (MEM) oversight: Forgot to check for MEM in a new sandbox; may require app adjustments.- Business Central 28.2 rollout: Frustrating upgrade date control — new versions become default without easy delay options. Using internal Partner Dashboard tool to bulk defer upgrades.- New Marketplace app: BAI2 Direct Debit Import (US-focused, Bank of America initially). Handles automated vendor payments via bank files, matching, exceptions, etc.- Ongoing monster project: Migrating 1,260-line SQL stored procedure → BC. Created 40-page design doc; now doing high-fidelity wireframes (excellent with Opus) and detailed development plan for potential sub-agent orchestration.5. AI Model News- Anthropic released powerful Mythos → downgraded/guard-railed as Fable 5. Heavy data logging (30+ days) by Anthropic, so avoided for customer work.- Microsoft (major investor in Anthropic) reportedly restricting employee use of Fable 5 due to privacy concerns.- Prompting remains difficult; even multi-agent setups risky without strong human oversight.6. Cybersecurity Updates- MS Nightmare (formerly Nightmare Eclipse) releasing zero-days after MSRC conflict:  - Rogue Planet: Windows Defender bypass (race condition).  - Great XML: BitLocker drive encryption bypass (second after Yellow Key).- Warning of more zero-days coming due to MSRC's poor handling of researchers.7. Team Updates (El Salvador)- Joselyn: Financial reporting expert; studying Fixed Assets & Posting Groups for MB-800 retake.- David: RDLC/Word layouts, Data Exchange, customizations; part-time MB-820 study.- Ronald: Completed BAI2 app testing; BC email setup; helping with Partner Dashboard.- Franklin: Partner Dashboard refinements; workflow approvals study.- Fatima: Taking PMP exam today (tough 4-hour exam); learning Partner Dashboard.8. Upcoming Events- Partner Vibe 2.0: Sept 21–23, 2026, Provo, Utah (submissions open until June 15).- Summit NA: Oct 11–15, Nashville (presenting with Brad on AI for PTEs). Avoiding expensive on-site hotel.9. Fun / Misc- English contronym: "Peruse" means both "examine in detail" and "skim casually."- Opsec fail story: NSO Group (spyware) left a cup of noodles photo with their logo visible in WhatsApp testing — used as evidence in court.
