Super excited to share my work tomorrow with my fellow fellows & circle of friends at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society @ Harvard University. This project has totally consumed me. It feels less like doing a project & more like the project is a force of nature using me to be birthed.

35 tickets left at €1,750 for #PSConfEU 2026. From 11 May, the same tickets go up to €1,950. No new releases—once sold out, that’s it. Join us in Wiesbaden, 1–4 June 🔗 psconf.eu #PowerShell #Automation #DevOps #Conference

My talk at the PowerShell conference makes the point that developers do not care about Admins. That is why they produce ... things like this. That is why I designed PowerShell so you can clean up their ... work. (even though you shouldn't have to).

It is metaphysically impossible to build a safe general-purpose chatbot. Not difficult. Not expensive. Impossible. A system with an infinite goal space cannot be made safe. That is a structural contradiction. New post: www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/03...

AI safety is a category error. AI is not a system. AI is a component of a system. Systems can be safe or unsafe. Components cannot. New post: www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/03...

#Microsoft and #Windows hasn't had a coherent GUI strategy since Petzold. My blog: www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/03...

I spent 8 years at hashtag#DEC watching the deal get worse. At first I thought it was just the economy. Then I reverse-engineered what was actually happening. It was a deliberate strategy. And I think you're going to see it again. New post: www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/03...

Let's have the hard conversation about Engineering total compensation: A few years ago, we got an AWESOME deal. Now we have a GREAT deal. Soon we'll have a GOOD deal. Then... we'll have deal.

I've always had a stone in my shoe about being a college dropout. So naturally, I just became a Fellow at Harvard Law School. www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/03...

In my conversation with @jsnover.com on @coffeeandopensource.com, I asked him "If you were to build an LLM prompt to create PowerShell, what would it be?" The answer will surprise you. #powershell #tech #technology www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8XAN7ny/

If you are not occasionally overwhelmed by what is going on with AI, you are either: 1) Not paying attention. 2) Not understanding what you are seeing. 3) Made of much sturdier stuff than I.

Scary Microsoft Lawyers Incident or Don’t be on the Wrong Side of Antitrust A major CEO aggressively demanded that Microsoft cancel the PowerShell and use their proprietary language. When I refused, he filed an antitrust complaint. Enter scary Microsoft Lawyers. www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/03...

Sat down with @jsnover.com the inventor of PowerShell. We talked about being demoted for believing in an idea, architecting systems that last, and why AI should empower people and not replace them. Technology isn’t about tools. It’s about impact. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dzu...

That time I thought Perry Clarke was going to fire me.... www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/02...

In the trenches of shipping actual products, clarity is a gift—even when it's delivered as a threat of criminal prosecution. www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/02...

The celebration lasted exactly sixty seconds. Then the scary Microsoft lawyer walked in and promised to help the feds prosecute us if we leaked the deal. That generated clarity. #Respect www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/02...

What it takes to become a Senior Technical IC www.jsnover.com/blog/2011/10...

A story from early #PowerShell days when my sense of diplomacy was strictly "pre-operational." I asked my new boss—a 20-year Windows veteran with a Physics PhD—if he was an idiot because neither of us could debug a thrashing system using GUI tools. www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/02...

Success in software isn't just about shipping—it’s about knowing when the market is actually pulling your product. That pull is measurable. A new look at the equations that drive sustainable growth: www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/02...

Retired. Thanks for all the fish!

Think Windows Vista was bad? You should know the story behind the story. How a brilliant business strategy turned into a technical Boof-a-Rama!

Are we building an AI Finance Golem? #AI. #AGI www.jsnover.com/blog/2025/12...

Does AI hallucinate? Absolutely! But think back to your last exec review and ask yourself the question: Do AIs hallucinate more or less then execs? It certainly varies by the exec but they hallucinate ALL THE TIME! #AI www.jsnover.com/blog/2025/12...

Think about that the next time YOUR imposter syndrome kicks in!

TFW - you hear a prominent AI pontificater ask, "What is LSTM?"

If AI can write code, what’s left for us? That’s the question I keep coming back to - and it’s one we’ll be exploring at MEM Summit 2026 with industry legends like @jsnover.com Watch the 3rd episode with our keynote speaker on LinkedIn 👇 #MEMSummit www.linkedin.com/posts/mattia...

Ever wonder why we call them "Cmdlets" in PowerShell instead of just "Commands"? www.jsnover.com/blog/2025/12... #PowerShell

Most people wait too long to give feedback. @jsnover.com shared a better system: ❤️ Start with the heart ❓ Ask permission ⚡ “When… then…” ➡️ Share the outcome Simple. Fast. Effective. 1/2

PSA: Run this BOOTSTRAP PROMPT every few months: Act as a prompt engineer, Research the best practices for prompt engineering for the latest [YOUR FAVORITE AI] models. Produce a prompt which takes a prompt as an input and rewrites it according to best practices.

Note to self: have AI proofread your posts 🤣🤣🤣

The Physics of AI Teaming: Why You Need to Adopt the Growth Mindset The wrong question is: "Will AI replace me?" The right question is: "How do I turn AI into a teammate that make my me awesome?" www.jsnover.com/blog/2025/12...

This is the second conversation in our 4-part series with @jsnover.com and it’s full of insights on what it means to think big and act boldly. And if you want to hear more stories like this, you’ll have the chance to meet Jeffrey at MEM Summit 2026. #MEMSummit www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Many people put me in the "AI Skeptic" box after my last post. That's a mistake. While the valuations are 'no bueno,' the long-term physics are undeniable. Why you need a 10-year mindset. www.jsnover.com/blog/2025/11...

Everyone is arguing about AI Safety vs. Acceleration. I’m looking at the Skeptics—the ones arguing about the math. They argue the $1 trillion value equation isn't balancing out. Here is why: www.jsnover.com/blog/2025/11... #AI

95% of organizations are getting zero return from their Generative AI initiatives. It’s not a tech problem. It’s a "Underpants Gnome" strategy problem. | www.jsnover.com/blog/2025/11... #AI

We're excited to announce a 4 part series of interviews with @jsnover.com, our keynote speaker for #MEMSummit 2026! Soon we'll share the first part of an interview with real-life anecdotes by the inventor of PowerShell. Stay tuned and keep an eye on our socials🙏
