I have never used a computer that had access to Powershell, but in my new job I may have to do some small stuff to tie some systems together. I'm terrified of learning it because I don't want to be lured into some kind of lock-in scenario.
- emodendroket 12y agoWell, you can only use it on Windows. But I mean come on, "terrified?" Bash scripts are not too useful in Windows either.
- pessimizer 12y agoSpending a lot of time learning non-portable technologies isn't a decision to be taken lightly.
- emodendroket 12y agoWell, if it's part of your job I'd say it's not a decision at all...

- GhotiFish 12y agoI can't believe you got downvoted for that.
- GhotiFish 12y agocygwin does it's job well.
- emodendroket 12y agocygwin works fine but if your task is, for instance, to configure Windows machines, it's not very useful.
