Code. Deploy. Go Live.

Join Andrew Connell and Julie Turner as they share their top wishes and predictions for 2026 in cloud-based development, focusing on Microsoft 365 and Azure.Andrew wishes Microsoft would consolidate its confusing AI and Copilot landscape, adopt Anthropic's skills concept for better token usage, and improve documentation to focus on transformation rather than just technical how-tos. Julie hopes Microsoft will finally complete classic SharePoint page modernization, especially for configuration pages, and expand API coverage for critical features like document sets, term store management, and site settings. On the predictions front, Andrew foresees continued confusion in Microsoft's Teams and agent development story through the Build conference and beyond, while Anthropic continues to lead in AI trust and transparency. Julie predicts potential progress on classic site cleanup but expects disappointment on API improvements and Azure Functions fixes.This candid discussion offers valuable insights into the challenges developers face with the Microsoft ecosystem and where the platform needs to evolve in 2026.🔗 LINKS=================================================Andrew's Picks:🔗 Anthropic: Create and distribute a plugin marketplace for Claude Code🔗 claude-reflect: A self-learning system for Claude Code that captures corrections, positive feedback, and preferences — then syncs them to CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md.Julie's Pick:🔗 The 21 Best Non-Alcoholic Drinks In A Can Or Bottle, Based On Testing🎙️ PODCAST🔗 https://codedeploygo.live, LinkedIn, Bluesky🎙️ HOSTSJulie TurnerAndrew Connell: LinkedIn, YouTube, Bluesky, NewsletterSPONSORSSympraxis (by Julie Turner) 🔗 Website 🔗 Ask Sympraxis 🔗 YouTubeVoitanos (by Andrew Connell) 🔗 Website 🔗 LinkedIn 🔗 BlueskyMusic Credit: Ken Bagley (00:00) - Introduction (08:18) - Wishes for 2026 (37:01) - Predictions for 2026 (01:00:37) - AC's & Julie's Picks
