PSStucco, Accessibility, and the Power of Templating in PowerShell with Gilbert Sanchez & Jake Hildreth | The PowerShell Podcast In this high-energy episode, returning guestsย Gilbert Sanchezย andย Jake Hildrethย join Andrew for a deep dive into: Module templating withย PSStucco Building forย accessibilityย in PowerShell Creating open source GitHub orgs likeย PSInclusive How PowerShell can lead to learning modern dev workflows like GitHub Actions and CI/CD What begins with a conversation about a live demo gone hilariously sideways turns into an insightful exploration of how PowerShell acts as a launchpad into bigger ecosystems like GitHub, YAML, JSON, and continuous integration pipelines.Bios & ย  Bios: Gilbert Sanchez is a Staff Software Development Engineer at Tesla, specifically working on PowerShell. Formerly known as "Seรฑor Systems Engineer" at Meta. A loud advocate for DEI, DevEx, DevOps, and TDD. ย  Jake Hildreth is a Principal Security Consultant at Semperis, Microsoft MVP, and longtime builder of tools that make identity security suck a little less. With nearly 25 years in IT (and the battle scars to prove it), he specializes in helping orgs secure Active Directory and survive the baroque disaster that is Active Directory Certificate Services. Heโ€™s the creator of Locksmith, BlueTuxedo, and PowerPUG!, open-source tools built to make life easier for overworked identity admins. When heโ€™s not untangling Kerberos or wrangling DNS, heโ€™s usually hanging out with his favorite people and most grounding reality check: his wife and daughter. ย  Links https://gilbertsanchez.com/posts/stucco-create-powershell-module/ https://jakehildreth.github.io/blog/2025/07/02/PowerShell-Module-Scaffolding-with-PSStucco.html https://github.com/PSInclusive https://jakehildreth.com/ https://andrewpla.tech/links https://discord.gg/pdq https://pdq.com/podcast https://youtu.be/w-z2-0ii96Y ย

If you are a big #PowerShell fan and new to Bluesky, take a look at the PSBluesky module. Install from the PowerShell Gallery and then run Open-BskyHelp to launch a PDF help file. The module requires PS7, but should work cross-platform. Please post cross-platform issues in the GitHub repo.
