Jonah Andersson, Principal Cloud Architect, Microsoft MVP for both Azure and Foundry, Microsoft Certified Trainer, international speaker and author of "Learning Microsoft Azure" (O'Reilly). She runs her own company in Sweden, writes books on the side of a full consulting week, speaks at conferences like Microsoft Build, and is currently working on two books at once - the AI-native second edition of her Azure book, and a self-published one about her own story. Her CV is four pages long. She tried to compress it. It didn't work. ;) And here's the part I didn't expect: after all of that, the thing she asks for is for AI to slow down. Intriguing, right? :)

This is Jonah's second time on the show - the first was almost two years ago, back when AI was still "a chat prompt you ask questions to". A lot has changed since. In this episode we talk about what it actually costs to stay this productive, why she took a break from her career, and why I took one from this series. We get into the art of saying no one year later, calendars you own versus calendars that own you, whether junior developers are still learning from humans, and where Jonah draws the line on what she'll let AI hear.

If you're busier than ever and quietly wondering whether all that speed is taking you anywhere - this one's for you. Tune in!
