Now that everything is agentic, what should I be learning?
Observability and evaluations are the must-learn skills for the agentic AI era

Microsoft's AI Foundry is positioned as a unified observability platform integrating datasets and evaluations. The framing signals a maturing agentic ecosystem where operational discipline, not novelty, is the differentiator.
