What I find entertaining with vibe coding is to have the AI to add unit tests and then watch it complain about the issues in "your" code as it does iteration after iteration trying to get the tests working.

I don't know why, but my immediate curiosity was how could I trick it into running other scripts or commands on the system.

#physics question. Photons experience no time, from their frame, they are emitted and absorbed at the same moment.

So due to the expansion of the universe, what happens to photons that can never reach a target? Are they never emitted? Are they dark energy?

Having a great week at #pshsummit

Code Golf: The zen of writing bad code Code Golf is a game designed to let you show off your code-fu by solving problems in the least number of characters. Let’s have fun twisting our knowledge of PowerShell and use it in ways it was never...

I will walk through my solution during my session on #powershell code golf Tuesday morning. pshsummit25.sessionize.com/session/783136

Our code golf challenge for #PSHSummit25 is the Collatz conjecture: for any positive integer n, it will eventually reach 1 by repeatedly applying these rules:

If n is even, divide it by 2.
If n is odd, multiply by 3 and then add 1.
Count the steps

If I haven’t had time to text you or let you know that I appreciate you, I do. I appreciate that you are out here trying to stay positive in the face of negativity, and that you were trying to move the ball forward to the best of your ability. Hang in there!

PowerShell all the things!

We're working on PnP PowerShell 3.0 which will contain some breaking changes. If you're running the latest nightly build you will already run this version. It will be based upon .NET 8 and requires at least PowerShell 7.4.3 or newer.

Had a great time at #kubecon but it's time to go home.

Awesome, thank you. I really appreciate it. I was mostly writing the articles that I wish I had when I was learning it.

For anyone cutting it close, watch that time zone. It's 9:00pm on the West coast.

Last call for sessions. The CFP for the #PowerShell and DevOps summit closes later today. #mvpbuzz I know you all wait until the last minute. Well, that's today. sessionize.com/pshsummit25

Same, also first time. So many options to pick from

Hmm, 117.9 hours in the last two weeks. I might be playing #Factorio a bit too much.

Hey #PowerShell family, anyone doing #kubecon? I'll be there tomorrow for the rest of the week.

Also my favorite trick to delete folders containing names longer than 255 characters.

Just ~16 days remaining before the submission deadline for #PowerShell + #DevOps Global Summit 2025.

I've presented for 15 years at local, state, regional, national, and global conferences.

And I was nervous each time.

But each time, there was learning, by attendees and myself.

Welcome to #Bluesky!

While I enjoy the occasional golf session, I leaned into the verbosity years ago.

Remember that you spend easily 10x times more reading code than writing it. Lean into the verbosity for future you.

The other reason for the verbosity is because it was written for people that have never used the shell before. Lowers the bar for others to support it.

This better?

$allXaml += (Get-ChildItem -Path SicsControls -Recurse -Filter *.xaml).FullName -NotLike '*\obj\*'

$allXaml+=(gci SicsControls *.xaml -r).FullName -NotLike '*\obj\*'

I dropped the -File because of the filter and -NotLike works on an array of values.

Have you done something cool in the #PowerShell, #DevOps, #Automation space that you want to share with the community?

Personally, I'd love to see more non-tech/"soft skill"/career growth talks alongside the technical deep dives.

Go submit a talk for #PSHSummit 2025!
