In this episode of the Power Platform Podcast, Mark and Malin are joined by Scott Durow — Ribbon Workbench creator, Microsoft advocate, reigning Scottish Summit drag champion, and the only man at Ignite with green hair.

What starts as an interrogation about a borrowed pair of prosthetic tits (currently in his brother's possession, apparently) turns into one of the most open conversations we've had on the show. Scott takes us right back to the BBC Micro, a house full of computers his dad shipped over from the States, and the teenage years he spent locked away writing games just to watch how people reacted to them. From there it's medical physics, a first job building life-or-death laser control software, the dot-com boom, and the moment CRM's metadata model made everything click.

But the real thread is what Scott calls his weapons-grade neurodivergence: the trigger words, the masking, the rejection sensitivity that makes shipping a tool to thousands of people both a thrill and a terror, and the internalised story of not being enough that took decades to unpick. There's talk of geek sniping, capybaras as a life goal, learning to walk in heels for charity, and what he'd write in a letter back to eight-year-old Scott.

Funny, filthy in places, and genuinely moving in others — plus the eternal question: is his legacy the Ribbon Workbench, or the hair?
