In this episode, Julie Turner and Andrew Connell share the latest enhancement in Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines with federated identity login via the Microsoft 365 CLI, thanks to Martin Lingstuyl. This new feature simplifies the login process and eliminates the need for app registrations and certificates. The main focus of the episode was the critical discussion of the frustrations and challenges faced by developers due to the lack of robust API support in Microsoft 365.
They also discuss the importance of both delegated and application permissions, and why every new feature in Microsoft 365 should be supported by APIs from day one. Understand the impact of missing APIs on business processes and the necessity for comprehensive API coverage in modern development.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
