Episode 294 - Power BI & Fabric April 2025 Feature Summaries

In today's rapidly evolving tech world, the rise of AI-generated code promises unprecedented speed, but it also comes with a hidden trap: unsustainable, brittle systems that collapse under complexity. In this TCAST episode, Alexander McCaig sits down with Gilad Shoham, the visionary behind Bit.dev and Hope AI, to unpack why 90% of AI code will fail unless developers fundamentally change their approach. Shoham introduces the concept of composable programming—building software like Lego blocks rather than stitching fragile snippets together. By treating code as structured, reusable components rather than random lines, organizations can scale their development healthily and predictably. You'll discover how Hope AI redefines "code generation" as "code assembly," why traditional AI assistants are missing the mark, and how holistic code architecture can future-proof your projects. If you're serious about digital transformation and AI ethics, this is a must-listen conversation. 🔗 Resources&nbsp; Internal:         External:            Related Episode:  (TCAST episode)  &nbsp;Want to future-proof your software against AI-driven chaos?
