Really enjoyed connecting with K–12 IT folks at #MECA26 and talking through practical ways automation can make work easier. There’s a lot of opportunity to save time, reduce friction, and make the day-to-day smoother by using automation and tools like #PowerShell

pca.st/episode/22de... Thank you #DonJones for sitting with @andrewpla.tech . Loved the career tidbits!

I’ll be speaking today at 2:45 PM in Room 203 at MECA. The 2026 State of EDU IT: Trends for Education Sysadmins Come by if you’re here and say hi to us at the PDQ booth #meca26 #Meca2026 #Mecaverse

Asmar Fontenot is joining us for #PowerShell Wednesday to help teach Tara about files, folders, and building real scripting confidence. Come learn with us live.

Most beginners stay quiet. Pablo didn’t. One year into IT and he’s learning in public, asking questions, and building consistently. That’s how you grow. New #PowerShell Podcast episode is live. You don’t have to be an expert. Start now 1/2

Today I’m learning Vim. You know… the editor you try once, get humbled, and quietly back away from (if you're me) Not this time. I got a new keyboard and I’m keeping my hands on the keys. So at #PowerShell Wednesday (2PM ET) I’m learning Vim on a whim with Mason Moser. 1/2

📍 FLPSUG Meetup – Feb 26, 2026 We’re meeting in person at the Millhopper Branch of the Library on Wednesday, February 26 from 5:30–6:45 PM in Gainesville, FL If you’re into #PowerShell, #automation, or just want to meet #IT folks in the area, join us. All skill levels welcome

If you've ever been stuck in the "I don't want to look dumb" purgatory..... Tara is here to remind you that failing, learning, and dusting yourself off are critical to learning new things, like PowerShell! New #PowerShell Podcast with Tara is out now (and it's good) Links👇 1/2

It’s #PowerShell Wednesday. Tara’s joining me to write her first script. Expect some red text. That’s where the learning happens 👇

PowerShell Wednesday today at 2 p.m. ET! Tara returns for our PowerShell for Beginners series. Today's topic: understanding #PowerShell output. All are welcome! Learn alongside Tara, or watch her have more💡 lightbulb moments

Working hard and working smart are great. Teaching others? That’s the cheat code. Loved this perspective from newly minted MVP Sass, David | MVP on the #PowerShell Podcast this week. Build others up → reduce your load → grow the whole team. Win-win-win

Can your AD CS be pwned in 6 seconds or less? Jake Hildreth built the open-source Locksmith module to help you find AD CS misconfigurations before an attacker does. It even suggests how to fix the misconfigurations it finds. Install-Module Locksmith

One of my favorite things about PowerShell Wednesday is the mix of fun and learning. This was Tara’s first time joining me live, she crushed it, and she took a gentle prank like an absolute champ! Join us live Wednesdays at 2 ET on the PDQ YouTube for more #PowerShell goodness!

Tara says that she wants to learn #PowerShell this year, and we are starting that journey live on PowerShell Wednesday. I'll guide her through her first few steps and help build a solid foundation, and you can help 👀

One thing I really appreciate learning #PowerShell is how it demystified so much for me. Actually being able to poke and query things gave me the closure my brain needed to really understand the tech I was using What accelerated that learning? Asking questions 1/2

If your security scripts need more explanation than comments, notebooks help. Tomorrow at 2 PM ET, @sassdawe.bsky.social joins me to walk through PowerShell + Jupyter notebooks for real-world security workflows on PowerShell Wednesday. 🔗

Communication is often the real bottleneck in tech. The tools matter, but work moves faster and feels better when people trust each other and know how to collaborate. If this is your career and you plan to be doing it for a while, it’s worth investing in being kind to the people you work with. 1/2

Coffee shop work session time Am I actually working? Maybe. Am I nerding hard enough to feel productive? Absolutely.

@franklesniak.com and @danny-stutz.bsky.social are joining #PowerShell Wednesday! Live from Workplace Ninjas US: PowerShell tips, Copilot + VS Code setup, and conference learnings. Want practical ideas you can steal to look smarter than your coworkers? youtu.be/ztKT2wK6EW4#PowerShell@2pm ET

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

Al joins me to unpack how set theory and patterns underpin encryption, why simplicity can strengthen security, and set-theoretic estimation and “property sets” to narrow possibilities! Monday: Cryptography, Cracking Codes, and Breaking CBC with Dr. Al Carlson eyes👀

@jeffhicks.techhub.social.ap.brid.gy is going to show some of the PowerShell tools he uses in his daily workflow. See how he handles reminders, work items, social media, and even the PowerShell Podcast. Join us live at 2 PM ET and bring your questions:

If you’re waiting until you’re an “expert” to share, plz stop. Spencer Alessi shares some wisdom, then we dig into his PowerShell projects and practical security tools you can use to get ahandle on your environment. 🎧 powershellpodcast.po... #security #sysadmin #powershell

I expected to get roasted by chat… Not by GitHub Copilot. 😭🔥 I was live pair-programming a platformer with @definitelynotgary.bsky.social during #PowerShell Wednesday and Copilot REALLY said: “This is a stupid little demo…” Honestly? That's fair, but you gotta let me down gently AI.

Honest feedback builds trust. Without it, teams stagnate. A clip from my pod with @donjones.bsky.social and @jsnover.com reminded me how important real feedback is. What helps you feel safe enough to give or receive honest feedback?

PowerShell Wednesday is going full game dev this week. I’m live-coding a PowerShell platformer with PowerShell Game Dev, Greg Martin. We’ll learn the codebase and level up the game in real time. Come hang out and see how far we can push #PowerShell

#SpiceWorld was wild. We recorded a live #PowerShell Podcast and I share how I became Elevator Call Guy and Steven Judd became Escalator Fall Guy. Catch the chaos and lessons here:

@sintaxasn.bsky.social gave me the full PSADT rundown. If you’re not sure what it is, why it matters, or how to push it to the limit in your deployments, this episode has you covered. Grab it here or wherever you listen to podcasts: www.youtube.com/watc...

If you ever present or talk in virtual meetings, invest in a real mic. Clear audio makes you sound more credible and intelligent. A solid USB mic is affordable and lasts for years. Sincerely, someone tired of hearing bad mic quality 1/2

#Spiceworld left me genuinely recharged. It’s been a few days and I already miss seeing the community and friends from last week, but the energy is still carrying me. Thanks to everyone who shared how PowerShell Wednesday or the podcast has helped you. Your support keeps me going

Why is "Handles" in #PowerShell plural? @jsnover.com once typed HandleCount wrong in a live demo... and the typo was very NSFW. 😬 The fix? Rename it to Handles. 😂 1/2

“PowerShell was, is, and always will be about the user community… whatever tool makes you successful, that’s the tool you should use.” - @jsnover.com , inventor of PowerShell This mindset is what makes the PowerShell community so special. It’s never been about one tool or one way. 1/2

PowerShell Wednesday is here, and we are learning about... 🔥 PowerShell Parameter Binding - how PowerShell matches your input to parameters Join us for a deep dive with @sdwheeler.bsky.social, Lead Documentarian for PowerShell at Microsoft. 📺

It’s wild to think the BurntToast #PowerShell module has been making Windows notifications for 10 years. In our latest PowerShell Podcast episode, I got to chat with its creator @toastit.dev about finally hitting version 1.0 after a decade of community love and iteration. 1/2

The first time I heard about the "XY Problem", it blew my mind. I'd seen it play out for years. When someone asks for help with a weird workaround, and only later do you realize they were trying to solve something completely different that has a much easier solution. @allwayshype.com 1/3

This PowerShell Wednesday, we raise a toast (notification)! @toastit.dev , the mind behind BurntToast, is showing how to make toast notifications in #PowerShell and what's new in v1 2pm ET, or watch at your convenience

Remember when people thought #PowerShell would take away jobs? @allwayshype.com draws a great parallel between that moment and the current wave of AI anxiety. Her reminder: “You’re not getting paid to write code. You’re getting paid to think. You’re getting paid to solve business problems.” 1/2
