It was fun presenting with Dmitry Katson at @bctechdays.com about vibe coding vs. hand-crafted AL. It turned out that AI is helpful, but not for every step on the way. The conclusion was evident: It takes a captain to use a copilot! The community voted and thought the same. But, we had our beer! 🍻

We will discuss the proper way of canceling approval requests, monitoring progress, exception handling and maintaining and upgrading existing approval flows. Combined with many demos this session will give you a lot of take-aways that can be applied immediately in your daily work.

I'm preparing a session about AL fundamentals you should know, even in a world of AI and Copilots. Think of properties, patterns, code that could be replaced by setting a few properties, etc.
Looking for input, what should I definitely not forget to cover?

How many times did you count lines in an AL code function to get to the line reported by the debugger?
Change the way how line numbers are displayed to relative, place the cursor on the procedure line and you'll easily find the line number you are looking for!

Lesson learned: browser add-ins like Grammarly, that inject code into a text field for showing options like spelling corrections, cause Copilot in BC to fail.
