In this episode, we unpack what vibe.powerapps.com (The Vibe Experience) actually is (and isn’t), how it compares to Plan Designer, and why it feels both exciting and a little off‑brand in the Power Apps world. From AI‑generated, React‑based custom apps to Dataverse‑only constraints, we talk through what Vibe produces, who it’s really for, and where functional consultants, makers, and pro‑code developers might collaborate—or completely check out. Whether you’re curious about Microsoft’s AI‑first direction, wondering if Vibe is the future (or just a fun preview experiment), or you just want to understand why everyone’s suddenly “caught a vibe,” this episode breaks it down with honesty, humor, and real‑world perspective.

In this episode, Ed and Ashley talk through the Fast Track Recognized Solution Architect (FTRSA) process, including the different tracks (Dynamics and Power Platform) and what it takes to qualify. They discuss options for submitting documentation that won’t be publicly published, as well as the review and interview process where work is closely evaluated. The conversation also covers the challenge of holding both Microsoft MVP and FTRSA at the same time, noting that the contribution expectations don’t overlap and effectively create double work, and how rare that combination is within their company. And it wouldn’t be a podcast without a natural transition to TV Series that we’re watching! Stay to the end for recommendations & reviews.
