"However, by default, the Application Insights SDK adds a logging filter that instructs the logger to capture only warnings and more severe logs." To be honest this is one the stupidest default I have seen for very long time. Disable information logging by default... #azure #azurefunction #logging

Playbook for metadata driven Lakehouse implementation in #MicrosoftFabric by RK Lyer #Azure blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-GB/blog/p...

Nice use case for GitHub Copilot: I have two C# projects which are using NuGet packages, but their package versions are not matching. I asked Copilot to list all packages from project A which are newer than in project B (project B has also some own packages, so cannot just replace all). It worked!

Had to go to the gym to get rid of excess weight I gained from eating @samilaiho.com’s cinnamon buns during summit.

Had a change to meet the legend @scott.hanselman.com at #MVPSummit in my cool Amiga shirt. In next session he roasted us Finns thou 😀.

First day of MVP Summit is about to start. I didn't get any sleep after 04:00 AM, so it might be a long day. If YOU are at summit come say hi! I might look like a zombie, but don't let it stop ya. #mvpsummit #mvpbuzz

Had my 40th birthday yesterday. I think I am officially old now.

I passed the DP-700 Implementing Data Engineering Solutions Using Microsoft Fabric exam today and received my second Fabric certification (I have DP-600 and DP-700 now). This exam felt a bit easier than the DP-600 (because lack of PowerBI and DAX), but it is still tricky! #fabric
