This is a great story of finding a way to be productive inside a giant, impersonal machine like Microsoft.
That said, it did nothing to convince me to invest more mental energy in PowerShell. Every time I use it, I have the same “meh” reaction: The learning curve is too steep and the syntax is too ugly. It doesn’t ever “stick” with me, so I end up starting from zero every time I encounter it again.
I think the fundamental problem is that PWSH inhabits a dark valley between quick-and-dirty scripting and I’m-serious-about-this programming. It really needed to pick one side or the other to win people over, but never did.
