When I see someone hate on PowerShell it has, so far, always been because they misunderstand what it can do. That or they hate the syntax. Syntax style is kind of understandable if you prefer terse languages. But when you see the hate, just realize it comes from ignorance more than anything.

Oh god, we gotta turn around. > Why?!?" I think I left my PHP server on!

Understanding the paradox of tolerance should be the baseline.

did they *really* call it perps? like criminal actions are product names now?!!? alt text a screen shot of a tweet announcing Polymarket Perps

How do scripts connect to Microsoft Graph when nobody is there to sign in? Today at 2 PM ET, Morten Mynster and I are covering application permissions, client secrets, certificates, GitHub Actions OIDC, and Azure managed identities. Join us live: youtu.be/SE-GzZxoaiw #PowerShell #MSGraph #Swag

"Someone's already done a talk on that." Maybe. None of them did it in YOUR environment, with your constraints and the three things that broke at 2am. The topic isn't the value. The specifics are. CFP closes Aug 31: sessionize.com/pshsummit27 #PSHSummit #PowerShell

Excellent talk about burnout and AI www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJGK...

Six months to land PowerShell tab completion in shtab (Python, argparse). Final boss: `[\\/]` in a Python template collapses to `[\/]`. A character class with exactly one slash. The forward one. Windows paths silently stopped completing. Escaping is undefeated 🫠 github.com/tqdm/shtab/pull/212

Thanks Brock! Love to see people using the tools 💜

Just published GliderUI v0.3.0 which integrated LiveCharts2, an MIT licensed cross-platform charting library. github.com/mdgrs-mei/Gl... I'd be really happy if someone created Out-ChartView using this😄

You're shipping faster than ever with AI. So why do you feel fried? Running 5 agents isn't 5x output. It's 5 junior engineers tapping your shoulder - and nobody warned you about the cognitive bill. How I protect my focus: gilbertsanchez.com/posts/using-...

We, as a nation, are collectively missing a great opportunity to get RFK Jr to drink from the reflecting pool.

Handmade chocolate? Charming. Handmade Chocolatey builds on copy-paste? No. @gilbertsanchez.com turns artisanal builds into factory-grade automation with psake. Live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Da2... #PSHSummit #PowerShell #DevOps

New to the community? Clicked a scary 'Terminal' icon and got hooked? We were all new once — the #PSHSummit stage has room for your story too. CFP opens July 1: www.powershellsummit.org/blog/so-you-... #PSHSummit #PowerShell

Shhhhhh… some of the talks from PowerShell Summit are up! Was even more amazing seeing this one in person. Thank you Jeffrey Snover for making PowerShell happen and still continuing to be an asset to the PowerShell community! youtu.be/PO7WrCcZEvc?...

Hey #PowerShell people This month's Pacific PowerShell user group will be about Practical AI with PowerShell: www.meetup.com/pacific-powe... @gilbertsanchez.com is going to talk about how they use PowerShell and AI. Party starts @ 6pm pacific time tomorrow night. Hope to see you there!

🚨The MicrosoftExchangeOnline PowerShell module has been updated to 3.10.0 with breaking changes for some automated workflows! 👉 PowerShell 7.6 & Windows PowerShell 5.1 are the only supported versions! ⛔ PowerShell 7.2-7.3 will likely fail. ⚠️ PowerShell 7.4-7.5 𝘮𝘢𝘺 work.

I appreciate @joshooaj.com for putting me up for MVP.

I've been using the wsb CLI for the most part. For a project where I use sandbox a lot, I'll write a wsb file with my mapped folders, and I'll have a simple function to launch the sandbox and run my startup script from a mapped folder. Jeff has a module too www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Win...

"I am what the kids call spicy brained." That was my icebreaker at #PSHSummit. Three talks, psake v5, Plaster v2, and I bought a domain live on stage. But the thing that really stayed with me? Every person who stopped to say thanks for talking about ADHD. Full recap:

They finally published the claude code marketplace schema to SchemaStore! github.com/anthropics/c... You guys know how I feel about json schemas.

Spoke w/ Andrew at Summit talking about something I care about: how core modules survive. GitHub orgs, shared permissions, etc. Projects outliving people is the whole point. Also got to share my hot take: PowerShell will become the LLM preferred shell. See the late psake.dev for how we get there!

Somewhere in the #PSHSummit26 schedule is the session that changes how you work. 🗓️ You don't know which one yet. That "why didn't I know this sooner" moment is already waiting in Bellevue. 60+ sessions. April 13–16. Just show up. 🎟️ www.powershellsummit.org/tickets/

Claude Code now supports #PowerShell which means you don't need to run git bash! code.claude.com/docs/en/tool...

I became a mod for r/hellocrawlers, a Dungeon Crawler Carl read along podcast, and immediately tried to automate it. Original plan failed. Claude wasn't approved. Pivoted to Gemini and shipped anyway. Constraints are just boss battles you didn't see coming! gilbertsanchez.com/p... #FOSS

oscar winners vibe coders 🤝 "and, of course, my agent"

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’ ‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’ ‘Hello’ is not related to either. Goodbye.

Just shipped psake VS Code extension v1.0! Open a project with a psakefile.ps1 and your tasks just appear. Native task provider, CodeLens run buttons, sidebar explorer, 9 snippets. psake tasks, now first-class in VS Code. cloud.umami.is/q/psake-vsc-v1

Talk #3 for #PSHSummit26: "Markdown Madness: Static Sites for Fun & Profit" You write #Markdown already. What if it became a blog? A resume? A full docs site? Jekyll, MkDocs, Hugo, Docusaurus, jsonresume -we're going on a tour! Sprinkle in some #PowerShell. Bring snacks. cloud.umami.is/q/18X...

Me, looking at my #PowerShell Summit schedule: two talks, that's plenty... Also me: Anyway here's a third one! Handmade chocolate = charming. Handmade Chocolatey builds = a production incident waiting to happen. Let's fix that. cloud.umami.is/q/dX9... #PSHSummit26 #Chocolatey #psake

Talk #1: "From Burnout to Built-to-Last: The Open Source Org Advantage" Passion is a great start. It's just not a great bus factor mitigation strategy. Come learn how orgs keep projects alive - plus the free tools FOSS projects are sleeping on. cloud.umami.is/q/Dzd... #PSHSummit26 #PowerShell

It is extremely wrong that there is no whistle emoji. Somebody call the Unicode Consortium

Phenomenal episode! Can't wait for the book! 📚 This is totally my jam.

Folks using #PowerShellBuild and #psake to build your #PowerShell modules, our newest release adds tasks and functions to allow you to certificate sign your modules. psake.dev/blog/powersh... Feedback and requests are welcome!

At work we need to publish a PowerShell module but didn't want to deal with PSGallery tokens and more permissions we need to audit over time. I've tried out GitHub Container/OCI and Nuget feeds as well as Azure Artifacts. github.com/jborean93/Po... TLDR: Use Azure Artifacts.

Neat. Also, don't curl bash/iwr iex github.com/sheeki03/tir...

Wanted fast task capture without switching windows. Built a Windows Command Palette extension for Obsidian TaskNotes. Search, create, complete tasks - all from a hotkey. Vibe coded in less than a day. (First C# project!) Thanks to the TaskNotes team for the OpenAPI spec!

Build tools are hard to learn, but psake's patterns work across .NET, Node, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. Learn once, use everywhere. We just released an Agent Skill to help you level up faster - works in Claude and Copilot. psake.dev/blog/intro... #psake #powershell #build
