Pester 6.0.0 is now finally live! github.com/pester/Peste... #pspester #powershell

On that, this is also the first time I've tried editing and testing an Ansible module - of which, it was a nightmare to get working! I might have done a celebratory dance once it finally worked lol 😂

Used Codespaces in GitHub for the first time today, while playing around with the Ansible IIS module; gotta say, very useful, and surprised it took this long for me to try! 😅

Weekend = Build things™️ Introducing #touchgrass (I didn’t) a browser plugin for Chrome and Firefox (approval pending) It replaces the GitHub contributions graph with lovely blades of grass. The more you work, the tidier the grass. Do too much, you get patches github.com/lukeocodes/t...

Just about finished reworking how Options are defined for Select, Checkbox, and Radio elements in Pode.Web for v1.0 - they're a lot more dynamic in how they'll work now, making actions against them easier 🥳

Got the new Mario Tennis game; it's good but the adventure mode is driving me nuts. I'm all for cutscenes and reading, but this is like every 5secs - I just wanna play!

Well, this happened!

One of my favorite things in the world is when software architects come up to me and tell me how much they enjoyed my piece about how "software architect" is such a bullshit role at most companies. I love you guys. charity.wtf/2023/03/09/a...
