The Azure Infrastructure blog dropped a piece yesterday that's worth reading if you do anything with platform engineering at scale. The traditional ALZ deployment where you would have manually written Terraform modules or copy-paste networking blocks from existing repos is being replaced by GitHub Copilot driven prompt engineering across the full deployment lifecycle. IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) is being replaced by IbP (Infrastructure-by-Prompt), where the quality of your Cloud Infrastructure is going to be defined by the quality of your prompt. https://lnkd.in/dQvW7Xwt #Azure #PlatformEngineering #GitHubCopilot #MVPbuzz

First-year BME Ph.D. student Ignacio Montoya is seen here walking in a self-balancing exoskeleton, an apparatus that recently earned first place at the College of Engineering’s FAIR Tech Student Innovation Competition. Thirteen years ago, Georgia Tech was the last place Ignacio walked before his spinal cord injury. Today, he’s back, redefining what is possible. Ignacio’s research and passion focus on shifting the physiatric paradigm from passive care to active participation, helping prevent long-term health decline caused by inactivity. | Learn more about Ignacio: c.gatech.edu/4wcfZ14 #WeCanDoThat

A new chapter begins in my B+ journey ! For 22 years, Jeremy Gregg has been my soul brother — from sitting next to me in the UTD Executive MBA Class of '06 to standing shoulder-to-shoulder today as co-founders of something we believe will move the needle for SMBs around the world - two seekers, two explorers have embarked on a remarkable journey!

Amani Joy - thank you all !! It rained and rained and rained, but everyone's spirits were high and the turn out was wonderful. Thank you for supporting Amani Joy, it means the world to Hanna and Jeremy. Thank you all so much - your kindness truly changes lives.

Seeing firsthand how people are using our tools to have impact in their daily lives is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. While in Sydney, I enjoyed talking with Trevor Long about the family calendar assistant he built with Copilot Studio.
