About this tag
The dev proxy tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussion of Microsoft's Dev Proxy tooling and related developer experiments. A recent thread highlights a Microsoft test showing that an AI model's knowledge cutoff does not reliably predict which product versions it can work with, using Dev Proxy and SharePoint Framework examples.
