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.

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...

Git bash is no longer mandatory! youtu.be/RNv3U1SHIPA?...

"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:

Just came back in my feed. My 2c: "Is it a bad time to give you some feedback?" allows the other side an out and let's them protect their autonomy. It's better to start from a true commitment vs a false one. A false "yes" means they're not gonna listen, they're just letting you talk at them.

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"

I have been using Ulanzi Pixel clock with the awtrix firmware for a while. I've even leveraged MQTT & API to send me notifications for meetings. But last week I wanted create a new app but I didn't want to have to redo all of JSON. So I created an awtrix #PowerShell module. heyitsgilbert.github...

‘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...#PowerShell#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...#1: #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

NEW: Completely unredacted Flock audit logs have been released to the public by numerous police departments and in some cases include details on millions of Flock license plate searches made by thousands of police departments from around the country.

What I really needed right now was a giant omniscient machine intelligence second-guessing me.

There is a sustained phishing campaign going on right now designed to steal users' Sendgrid credentials. I've had a dozen pretty convincing emails this week about failed API requests, exceeding quotas, that kind of thing - but this latest one? Wow... This is social engineering on a whole new level.

Debating on moving some repeated code into a new function. I argued against it because of the coupling it would introduce. And I got to use the new phrase I learned the other week about DRY code: "not so DRY it chafes"

My work life balance has been out of wack these last few months. This year I'm gonna try to stick to a "Work Shutdown Routine". Anyone using this practice successfully and like to share their experience/suggestions/etc.?

Duo has a root CA certificate expiring in February. Make sure your Duo Auth Proxy is 6.5.1 or newer. I wrote a blog post about the upgrade process. Check it out! thedxt.ca/2026/01/duo-... #Duo #PowerShell #AuthProxy #Updates #Upgrade #MFA

I've always been interested in different build systems. It's how I ended up getting involved with psake.dev. In a previously life I worked on M&A's which included long running jobs. And having Stepper would have probably been a huge help.

In October, Flock announced always-listening microphones. After EFF exposed the danger, they quietly rebranded "screaming" as "distress." In 2026, we'll keep exposing these abuses & fighting for constitutional protections. eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I was looking at someone's GH profile and they highlighted their top starred project. I was curious what mine would be. I fully expected one of the modules, but I was totally surprised to find it was my dotfiles. I do have several blog posts that refer to it.

That Invoke-WebRequest security update (#KB5074596) breaking your scripts? A basic search for -UseBasicParsing won't catch code that uses properties like Forms or AllElements - those don't exist anymore. I wrote ScriptAnalyzer rules that find both issues. Try it out, let me know what I missed.
