Fabric ML Showcase and Architecture Thoughts

In this episode, Mike and Tommy explore whether the traditional "Report Developer" role still exists in the age of AI and Microsoft Fabric. They discuss what skills organizations should actually be hiring for, how the role has evolved from pixel-perfect report building to semantic modeling and data architecture, and whether AI tools like Copilot are changing what we expect from BI professionals. The conversation challenges conventional hiring practices and offers practical guidance on future-proofing BI teams.
