D365 Customer Insights for Our Own Sales Team (Customer Zero) (3) Fixing the D365 Sales Customization

This continues from Part ②. As part of Customer Zero, we planned to extract customers with no contact activity in the past 90+ days and send activity recommendations to sales reps. To support that segmentation, we had added a "Last Activity Date" field back in Part ①. However, the Power Automate flow wasn't running, and we discovered the following. activitypointer Cannot Be Used as a Dataverse Trigger Due to a Dataverse platform constraint, it is not possible to register a trigger (callback re

Post-Mortem: Building a Local MCP Server for Codebase Memory using Ollama and ChromaDB

Developers are pushing back against cloud API billing and the privacy risks of sending proprietary codebases to third-party endpoints. A Hacker News thread from this year put it plainly: the problem isn't the price per token, it's the unpredictability of usage-based billing when AI agents are continuously polling APIs. On Reddit, the privacy concern is starker -- for enterprise and defense work, sending company IP to OpenAI or Anthropic is a hard no regardless of cost. zerikai_memory has a local

Three AI Agents That Actually Write Code for You (and How to Use Them)

I got tired of copy-pasting snippets from ChatGPT If you're still bouncing between your editor and a chat window, asking an LLM for code and then manually wiring it into your project, you're doing it the hard way. In 2026, AI agents have matured into tools that read your entire codebase, propose multi-file changes, and execute commands on your behalf. They don't just autocomplete—they plan, edit, test, and iterate. I've been testing three agents that plug directly into real workflows: GitHub C

Off-Screen Hobbies Every Developer Should Explore

Because your brain needs a break from debugging life, not just code. If you're a web developer, you already know the drill: on-calls, stand-ups, testing, launch days, back-to-back meetings. You just want to vibe out and code, but the day has other plans. By the end of the day, you're craving no-screen time. Maybe you've felt it too: that specific kind of numb that comes from having your flow state interrupted over and over, whether by demands, deadlines, or meetings that could've been an email.

Build a Natural Language to SQL API in Python

Most data questions start in plain English. "Which customers spent the most?" "How many orders are pending?" "What products generated revenue last month?" Someone can turn those questions into SQL, but that usually means waiting on a developer, analyst, or dashboard update. This Python example shows how to build a small natural language to SQL API with Telnyx AI Inference. Code: https://github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-code-examples/tree/main/sql-natural-language-python The Flask app exposes: POST

zapier/marketplace fresh off the press!

Your AI coding agent shouldn’t stop at writing code. If you’re using Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, or OpenAI Codex, you’ve probably hit this: Your agent writes great code… until you ask it to update Notion, read Google Docs, or send a Slack message. Then you’re back to copy-pasting between apps. We built the Zapier Marketplace to fix that. Install it in one command: claude plugin marketplace add zapier/marketplace Then install the plugins you need: claude plugin install notion@zapier Now yo
