Mike Stall and Canvas Apps GitHub Integration

Daryl and Scott interview Mike Stall, Power Fx Architect at Microsoft, and chat about the Canvas Apps GitHub Integration.

Some of the highlights:

• Daryl's "Managing the Low Code Portion of Complex Power Apps" session
• The humble beginning
• Extremely Experimental Git Collaboration
• How maniacal edits are being handled
• Git blame and naming is hard
• Will GitHub Integration come to model-driven apps?
• Noisy diffs and other scary parts of making GitHub Integration happen
• Prioritisation is a challenge
• Help the team behind the GitHub Integration by providing feedback
• Writing 10-page paper with MS Word 95 on Windows 95
• View the diffs between different versions on Git
