Today SteadyCode published the Access-DevTool-MCP open-source project on GitHub. It lets developers use AI Agents to interact with Microsoft Access, is written in C#, and includes a Claude skill. github.com/SteadyCodeLtd/…

The post by @adityaag below is a must read. He talks about his roles as a technology leader in Silicon Valley and how everything he knows has changed in the past few weeks. “We are in the middle of what may be the largest shift ever in how knowledge work gets done.” From my perch in Silicon Valley. I see this not as just builders, but marked by curiosity and not resistance. Those who are curious about new things and curious enough to try get the new world. Those that argue the new world is evil do not. I made lists of 8,200 AI companies here on X. And 35,000 in AI. A small group dove right in. Most ignore it. Even after it slaps them in the face. I have seen this happen quite a few times in my career. Most resist and refuse to learn new things. Would rather just try to do the same thing they did yesterday. But then a new group comes along and gets the old group fired. That is about to happen in a way that I never have seen before. But I have seen disruption and caused it even. At Microsoft I was the first to do video interviews with a hand held camera. My videos got audience while those that had “skills” and “credentials” didn’t. Even with millions of dollars in TV studio equipment. An executive told me they laid off many who worked in the TV studio after I showed them a new way. The same will happen here. But at a much bigger scale. And in many industries at the same time. Lawyers. Hollywood. Software. Politics. Journalists. Education. So many jobs are about to radically change. If not all of them eventually. But I am preaching to the choir. If you are reading me you are already curious about AI. Or the algorithm showed me to you because you are angry about AI. I built my lists for the curious. Almost no one uses them. They are the best on any service of the people and companies building the new world. By far. In the next week I will show you what I built with them. The curious will eat it up. The rest will stick their heads in the sand. The sand people will fall further and further behind every day until it will be almost impossible. Do I feel sorry for them? No. It is time to change. There won’t be any apologies. My lists are here for the curious: x.com/scobleizer/lis… The others just won’t be relevant to the new world until they change. The world is brutal that way. I wasn’t popular with the folks who worked in the TV studio at Microsoft either. They refused to change. And yes I tried. Same advice now. Either you get new skills and become part of the new world or you will really struggle. Because people who get it are about to change EVERY PART OF HUMAN LIFE. The time for grieving and excuses is over. Either get curious and start to build or someone else will and you will find yourself locked out of the modern world. Sorry to be so rude. You can blame the messenger. But if you think I am an asshole for saying all this then that is a major signal that you don’t get it and aren’t positioned well to be successful in this new world. I will spend my efforts helping those that do. In my first book Shel Israel and I said the same. Either you get into social media, we wrote, 20 years ago, or you will find your career soon will end. We were right. Many lost their jobs, replaced by those who dive right in. I feel even more strongly that the same is happening now.

#AcumaticaSummit 2026 brought us together in Seattle to create, discover, and connect as the pace of innovation accelerates. We shared how Acumatica is transforming ERP from a system of record into a system of intelligence, building a digital replica of the business powered by great products, a growing ecosystem, and an incredible community. There’s truly no substitute for the energy and impact of coming together!

SteadyCode has a preview extension for a Microsoft Dynamics SL 2018 SDK application for Visual Studio 2022.9 (and higher) or 2026 in the Visual Studio Marketplace. You can find it here: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

More tricks and best practices for troubleshooting @Acumatica #CloudxRPSummit

Had a great time attending the #CloudxRPSummit. Thanks to all the great presenters!

Without caching, BQL is 3% slower that FBQL (which isn’t the case with caching), but developer code speed improves 15-20% when using FBQL instead of BQL. Seems good to use FBQL as the default unless performance is critical. #CloudxRPSummit

Notes about Parameters in FBQL #CloudxRPSummit

#CloudxRPSummit

Here’s an example of a BQL Template with placeholders. They can be used for operands, fields, tables, conditions, and joins. #CloudxRPSummit

Ditto with using FK.<DACName>.FindParent() and SelectChildren() methods. #CloudxRPSummit

Use of PK.Find() method greatly simplifies queries. #CloudxRPSummit

FBQL is more readable and should have better intellisense compared with BQL. #CloudxRPSummit

The "Additional usage" point is a big reason why I'm building Query Quarry timrodman.com/queryquarry/ #CloudxRPSummit

Brendan, thanks for an excellent and practical presentation. I look forward to reviewing your material in depth later. #CloudxRPSummit

Here’s the link to Brendan’s GitHub Repository for Acumatica Source Control. #CloudxRPSummit github.com/bhennelly/Acum…

What you need to include in source control. Including the CodeRepository folder will show you all of the core Acumatica code changes over time, helpful to see what core changes might impact your customizations #CloudxRPSummit

From Dimitrii Naumov’s presentation: 1. Draw a chart of entities, showing the relations between the tables. 2. See if you can reuse existing attributes to lower maintenance costs. 3. Use TransactionScope to insure all changes are saved. #CloudxRPSummit

Here is the link to the Reusable Business Logic Implementation. #CloudxRPSummit help-2019r1.acumatica.com/(W(22))/Help?S…

@TimRodman Great live tweeting of the session. If I miss something, I can go back and review in your tweets! #CloudxRPSummit
