I find Powershell extremely weird. We have a fair number of Powershell scripts for admin tasks and frankly I think they'd all be easier to understand if they were just written in C#.
- zub 11y agoMhmm. I wrote a set of PowerShell scripts to do some basic deployment stuff a while back and I discovered... - Timing issues with something as simple as "remove file," where the agreed upon Stack Overflow solution was to call it "a few more times until you didn't get an error." - Broken implementations of recursive folder copy. - Okay, we'll call upon "rm" and "rmdir" -- oh, PowerShell intercepts those and invokes the previously described buggy routines. (Eventually figured out that I needed to shell out completely.) In the end I regretted writing these crummy house-of-cards PowerShell scripts.
