The thing I never understood about PowerShell is that it’s partially more verbose than C#, which is one of the most verbose programming languages in existence. It just feels like you might as well go for a full-fledged programming language at that point.

The appeal of Bash et al is that the scripting is almost the same as the interactive usage, which you already know. But because PowerShell is so verbose, I’m really not sure people do use it interactively.

I guess, that code snippet in the article makes somewhat of a difference, in that PowerShell offers better features for interop between processes. But man, that still feels like it could’ve been a library instead…

Good post. Definitely worth the read. Essentially: “how to convince execs who think they know more than they do that something is not only a good idea, but also their good idea”

Bill Gates walked into the meeting “riding high” because he acquired patents for malaria treatments. Reality beats satire every time.

Bill Gates will never be a good guy.

Which Bill Gates got your attention? Epstein Island Bill or Embrace/Extend/Extinguish Bill? Either way, not a good look.

Warning: This article contains swearing (Quoted, from Bill Gates).

If you’re in IT and bad words offend you, fuck off. It’s a requirement.

that was a fun read and I appreciate the guy’s sarcasm in all of it. I can only imagine what that meeting with Gates was like.

PowerShell isn’t that bad. Yeah I said it.

If we can get rid of MS and keep PS as a community project, that’d be nice.
