Come in, introduce yourself, and say hello to others. Hoping to build a friendly and helpful community
Hey all,
I’m an engineer on the Windows Terminal. We work pretty closely with the PowerShell team, but admittedly, I’m still more of a CMD guy myself. I know, I know, “here’s a nickel kid, get yourself a real shell, blah blah blah”.
I’m always looking for a new place to keep my ear to the ground and get first-hand feedback from our users.
I must say I love the work you’ve done with Windows Terminal. Being able to have separate tabs for PowerShell, Windows PowerShell, WSL, CMD, and now Cloud Shell has been a game changer. I’ve been watching each release closely.
Decided to browse lemmy.ml, saw a post in their sysadmin sub about this poweshell sub from another instance. Clicked an instance link, changed it to lemmy.world (where my account is) then subbed. Lemmy’s federation is really neat lol.
I use powershell alot at work to automate some tedious tasks and have created a handful of functions in a personal module over the years, mostly related to gather information from remote windows computers. Maybe I will grab them and post them when I next get to the office! I should really setup git haha
Hello!
I’m an Azure/dotnet dev and I am bad at Powershell. I am looking forward to sharing all of my disgusting hacks with you all!
Hello! My clients have me administer their servers and mostly scheduled tasks on those. Powershell is an invaluable tool for that. I’ve built analyzers that determine whether scheduled tasks ran a normal amount of time, or whether they took too long, compared to their own normal duration. I also regularly run benchmarks to determine the fastest way to do things, like archiving millions of files across file servers.
Hello, I work as a sysadmin/DevOps and I work with all sorts of tools but I often go back to powershell if I need to write a pipeline, get some information, or writing a quick wrapper for some api calls.
Powershell is often my go to for API calls as well lol. Easy to just use what you know!
Hey, all. I’m a systems administrator in a mixed environment. Use PowerShell a lot for automating various tasks, maintenance, etc.
Self-taught and been using PS for about 4 years now, daily.
Glad to see a community starting here!
That is exactly how I got my start in PowerShell too. Working as a sysadmin, if there was a task I had to do more than twice, I automated it. I started with VBS, and dabbled in PowerShell 2.0, then made the full switch when 3.0 came out. Haven’t looked back since.
