531: You are Wasting your Time!

About this episode

Mike & Tommy discuss how to improve efficiency in Microsoft Fabric workflows and avoid wasting time.

Mike & Tommy tackle Microsoft Fabric hints to work faster, exploring whether teams are wasting time due to self-inflicted bad workflows, poor reuse, and confusing busy work with shipping value. They break down which repeatable tasks should be standardized first, when "just build it" becomes technical debt, and what practical Fabric habits listeners can adopt this week to stop the waste and start delivering faster.
