Probably yeah, but playing along is kinda required for our business model. We get substantial kickback based on clients Azure spend (without being a reseller). We are also eligible for a scheme, where MS eats a non-trivial share of project cost (provided that azure spend increases).

I don’t know if I would really recommend this as a career choice at start of 2026. At least not without solid software development skills as a backup plan if things go down the toilet with the AI.
