It's the last day of #PSConfEU and this week has been incredibly special. I have so many stories and memories that I want to share, but those will come (including an explanation of that meme) soon enough #PowerShell

My PowerShell Security and “Pwsh with Buttons” talks are both completed and they went well #PSConfEU is always something special. If you are here, please come say hi! I've loved getting to meet so many new friends. If you aren't here, who do you want me to interview for the #PowerShell Podcast??

PoShaKucha is something pretty cool at #psconfeu. 20 slides, 20 seconds each, auto-advancing whether ready or not. My topic: 20 Lessons from the #PowerShell Podcast. Come by to see what🖕😁🖕taught me (and more, of course)

Snover told us he once put a bug back into #PowerShell after already fixing it. The Exchange team had validated against the broken version. Billion 💰 commitments on the line. No time to revalidate. He unfixed it. That's what shipping at scale looks like from the inside.

Day 1 of #PSHSummit is underway - so far I've: - Morning coffee stroll & breakfast - Kellyn Gorman setting the tone with the keynote - Control physical hardware with #PowerShell from Mark Go - Sustainable open source with Gilbert More to come! Say hi at the PDQ booth

After a 4:30am wake-up and a 3-hour layover, I’m one flight away from being at my home away from home: #PSHSummit Boarding now. Can’t wait for the week to start. 🛫

Really enjoying my time at GLET CyberCon in Atlanta. It’s been awesome to see Georgia’s K–12 folks approach security with such a strong sense of community, collaboration, and shared purpose. This year, the conference is in the Atlanta Braves' stadium 🏟️

15 years ago I remember hearing about Google Fiber and thinking, “I’ll have that in just a few years.” I was very wrong 😅 I got new internet and I feel like I’ve caught up with the times. I’m basically Pinocchio. I’m a real (fiber) boy now. Yay.

PowerShell Summit 👀 I'm back! Doing a live #PowerShell Podcast session on what it really takes to publish every week: wins, awkward moments, near-misses, plus a live recording. April 13–16 | Bellevue, WA Tickets: PowerShell.org #PSHSummit Is this your first Summit?

Really enjoyed connecting with K–12 IT folks at #MECA26 and talking through practical ways automation can make work easier. There’s a lot of opportunity to save time, reduce friction, and make the day-to-day smoother by using automation and tools like #PowerShell

I’ll be speaking today at 2:45 PM in Room 203 at MECA. The 2026 State of EDU IT: Trends for Education Sysadmins Come by if you’re here and say hi to us at the PDQ booth #meca26 #Meca2026 #Mecaverse

If you've ever been stuck in the "I don't want to look dumb" purgatory..... Tara is here to remind you that failing, learning, and dusting yourself off are critical to learning new things, like PowerShell! New #PowerShell Podcast with Tara is out now (and it's good) Links👇 1/2

PowerShell changed my life because it taught me how to deliver outcomes. Less errors. More output. Less uncertainty. More reliability. That’s the real career unlock. New #PowerShell Podcast episode with Don Jones is live.

Working hard and working smart are great. Teaching others? That’s the cheat code. Loved this perspective from newly minted MVP Sass, David | MVP on the #PowerShell Podcast this week. Build others up → reduce your load → grow the whole team. Win-win-win

Can your AD CS be pwned in 6 seconds or less? Jake Hildreth built the open-source Locksmith module to help you find AD CS misconfigurations before an attacker does. It even suggests how to fix the misconfigurations it finds. Install-Module Locksmith

One of my favorite things about PowerShell Wednesday is the mix of fun and learning. This was Tara’s first time joining me live, she crushed it, and she took a gentle prank like an absolute champ! Join us live Wednesdays at 2 ET on the PDQ YouTube for more #PowerShell goodness!

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

Communication is often the real bottleneck in tech. The tools matter, but work moves faster and feels better when people trust each other and know how to collaborate. If this is your career and you plan to be doing it for a while, it’s worth investing in being kind to the people you work with. 1/2

Coffee shop work session time Am I actually working? Maybe. Am I nerding hard enough to feel productive? Absolutely.

Most people wait too long to give feedback. @jsnover.com shared a better system: ❤️ Start with the heart ❓ Ask permission ⚡ “When… then…” ➡️ Share the outcome Simple. Fast. Effective. 1/2

Al joins me to unpack how set theory and patterns underpin encryption, why simplicity can strengthen security, and set-theoretic estimation and “property sets” to narrow possibilities! Monday: Cryptography, Cracking Codes, and Breaking CBC with Dr. Al Carlson eyes👀

If you’re waiting until you’re an “expert” to share, plz stop. Spencer Alessi shares some wisdom, then we dig into his PowerShell projects and practical security tools you can use to get ahandle on your environment. 🎧 powershellpodcast.po... #security #sysadmin #powershell

I expected to get roasted by chat… Not by GitHub Copilot. 😭🔥 I was live pair-programming a platformer with @definitelynotgary.bsky.social during #PowerShell Wednesday and Copilot REALLY said: “This is a stupid little demo…” Honestly? That's fair, but you gotta let me down gently AI.

Honest feedback builds trust. Without it, teams stagnate. A clip from my pod with @donjones.bsky.social and @jsnover.com reminded me how important real feedback is. What helps you feel safe enough to give or receive honest feedback?

@sintaxasn.bsky.social gave me the full PSADT rundown. If you’re not sure what it is, why it matters, or how to push it to the limit in your deployments, this episode has you covered. Grab it here or wherever you listen to podcasts: www.youtube.com/watc...

#Spiceworld left me genuinely recharged. It’s been a few days and I already miss seeing the community and friends from last week, but the energy is still carrying me. Thanks to everyone who shared how PowerShell Wednesday or the podcast has helped you. Your support keeps me going

Why is "Handles" in #PowerShell plural? @jsnover.com once typed HandleCount wrong in a live demo... and the typo was very NSFW. 😬 The fix? Rename it to Handles. 😂 1/2

@FrankLesniak.com shares a good tip for conferences “Networking is just as valuable as the technical training.” Perfect timing while I’m at #SpiceWorld connecting with this amazing community. The hallway track is where it's at! 🎥 www.youtube.com/watc...

🤯 200 episodes of the PowerShell Podcast 200 conversations about #PowerShell, #Security, #DevOps, #DBA, and so much more. This community made it possible. thank you for every listen, share, and message along the way. Here’s to 200 more. 🥂 1/2

Bet on yourself. Own your growth. Invest in your future @franklesniak.com is coming with a message that hits hard. And it's a reminder we all need to hear sometimes 1/2
