From Mountains to MVP, AI Assisted Development, Community, and the Road Ahead

In this episode of Just Peter – Your Dynamics Podcast, Peter sits down with Tine Staric, Microsoft MVP and Strategist at Companial

What starts as a personal story about moving back from Lithuania to Slovenia quickly turns into a grounded discussion about the Dynamics ecosystem and where it is realistically heading.

They talk openly about what being a Microsoft MVP actually entails beyond the badge, why AI assisted development is fundamentally different from vibe coding, and how both will impact developers, consultants, partners, and ISVs over the next few years.

The conversation also touches on community events like DynamicsMinds and Directions, why environment and daylight matter more than people admit, and why taking a proper pause sometimes creates better long-term focus than pushing through another release cycle.

No hype, no roadmap promises, just practical experience from someone working close to both Microsoft and the partner ecosystem.
