There are probably several thousand, if not more, other former Windows platform admins like me that are absurdly grateful that Snover stuck with his vision, giving us a path to being automation and, later, cloud experts. I've since branched off into DevOps, but up to about 2011/2012, was pigeon-holed as a Windows admin. Doing a few clever things with PowerShell and Active Directory led to my being chosen to work on my company's Skype for Business deployment, then Azure, which led to Kubernetes and DevOps. Having an immediate work-related reason to learn a powerful scripting language means a lot in particular for people who don't have a lot of time to learn things outside of work, like parents (especially mothers) of young children.
