Your single biggest topic: 2,436 saved links spanning 2016–2026 (peak: 2023). The corpus has two distinct eras — classic infrastructure (compute, networking, AZ-104 material) through 2024, and then a decisive pivot: nearly every 2025–2026 Azure save is Azure × AI — Foundry, the Azure MCP ecosystem, agent services, Cosmos DB as an AI backend. Your archive documents the exact bridge you’re walking: from Azure administrator to AI engineer on Azure.
