It takes minutes to make a dashboard that looks like this. Literally, ~10 minutes on my phone as I walked to an appointment. Does it look nice? Idk - few too many decorations and typical AI design shibboleths. Here's a better question: who cares? Is it useful? Is it valuable? Is it correct? What matters most in this age of AI is whether you are making the right thing for the right people and scenario.

One of the most valuable things that you can do to accelerate your learning and career right now with AI & agents is to stop thinking in terms of tools and platforms. Don't box yourself in; do the opposite. For instance, don't think only about Power BI if you're a "power bi" person; likewise for Tableau, Qlik, etc. You don't have to be the person anymore and I don't think it's helpful to think that way right now, at all. Zoom out. Focus on the actual business problems and agnostic theory in your professional or interest space - both horizontally and vertically. Consider in that problem space what useful, effective (in cost and results) solutions actually look like. Be as much as possible solution and value-driven. Step outside your comfort zone and your stack / vendor bubble and look broadly at what's happening in your market. Experiment and think outside the box; flex your brain and try things that seems outlandishly outside of your expertise area. You will experience some helpful friction and learn a lot. If you are continuously focusing on using AI and agents with one specific tool or platform it's a bit the equivalent of using a power drill to make a better screwdriver. It might be the easiest and most immediately helpful in your job, but i don't think it's the most effective path forward for personal development (it might even be dangerous or counter productive). I don't think it's the best way to prepare for what this next "era" is shaping out to be.

We're releasing the PBIR CLI shortly in the next days (some late issues with the distribution). We already published the pbir-cli skill a few days ago to help testers and get it integrated with the plugins. github.com/data-goblin/power… But someone already capitalized on this - it strongly seems they pointed their agent at the skill and told it "make this" to slap together a CLI that works as the skill describes. They didn't even change the commands, flags, and even took the skills. They just shuffled skill content around in the markdowns, then published it on their own repo. Of course they didn't have the source code so what's behind it isn't comparable... we have a full schema-driven object model, for instance. We knew this would likely happen when I started sharing the plugins. We anticipated it; it's obvious - it's why we never bothered trying to commercialize this. It seemed almost inevitable. We didn't anticipate it would happen so quickly, though! The commit trail is literally 1-2 days apart. Better than hours I guess. This is just the way it is now. Anyone can just point their slopcannon at something shared and then copy it, make some noise, and benefit... in a matter of days or less. The work speaks for itself, but still - it's clear that whatever new era we're entering plays by some different rules.
