A C# native version of #PowerShell #ModuleFast is coming. Watch it install the entire Az module and submodules in just a couple seconds on a 3 year old laptop running on wifi.

This was a fantastic talk; I learned wonderful things about what mocking means in technical terms. Thoroughly recommend it!

PowerShell is deprecating its MSI installer in favor of MSIX, despite current known limitations that prevent PSRemoting scenarios, or execution from system services, like the Task Scheduler. PowerShell 7.7 will *not* ship an MSI: devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/p...

I love the places March 8th has apparently taken me, based on my photos:

One thing I really appreciate learning #PowerShell is how it demystified so much for me. Actually being able to poke and query things gave me the closure my brain needed to really understand the tech I was using What accelerated that learning? Asking questions 1/2

Hobbies are good for you, crafting ones in particular. It boosts overall well-being and increases life satisfaction. Your boss should let you spend some time at work doing them - it boosts creativity and even engagement with the job. 🧪 link: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

So, managed [71-and-a-bit books](blog.justpowerdown.com/what-i-read-...) this year (with a fair few re-reads) - I'm pretty happy with that! Binged Dresden, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and Sandman Slim (amongst other series), and found some new authors and books that I'm itching to explore! Here's to 2026!

What I read in 2025

I saw someone talking about what they'd read so far in 2025, and though I've re-read a lot of my comfort series this year (as I seem to keep doing) it was interesting to revisit what I had read throug...

A plea to junior and senior developers alike - when someone does a build from main, please ensure that git doesn't report 46 changed files. Generally speaking, any files created or updated during a build should be considered "artifacts" and artifacts should be .gitignored.

Well, that's intriguing - I feel like I should have known this!

I was reading an older report from CrowdStrike the other day: "CrowdStrike was able to reconstruct the PowerShell script from the PowerShell Operational event log as the script’s execution was logged automatically due to the use of specific keywords." [1]

I had the absolute joy and indescribable terror of emailing 1200 of my closest coworkers to announce we would be making the GitHub repo for our PowerShell module public tomorrow. I set my alarm for 11pm to flip the switch at 8am CET. It is done! Link to GitHub in the docs: www.milestonepstools.com

Inspired by some great discussion on Q-UP from @austinwalker.bsky.social, @notquitereal.bsky.social, @sylvibullet.bsky.social, @molleindustria.org and other folks, I wrote a short piece on the design inspiration for Q-UP and what developing the game meant to me stiknork.substack.com/p/qing-up-in...

Qing-UP in the Age of Tilt

As anyone who has played 5 seconds of League of Legends knows, competitive multiplayer games have a tilt problem.

Automate user onboarding like a pro → Write a PowerShell script that: creates users, assigns groups, sets passwords → Add automatic email notifications → Log every action to a CSV This is the kind of thing managers notice. You’re not just repeating steps you’re building trust in your reliability.

I enjoyed seeing @jsnover.com talk, last year, and was reminded of it by [this article](medium.com/@sebastianca...) today. Roll on @psconf.eu next year!
