PowerShell… what a shame the developer experience is so poor.

I really like this language, but it’s frustrating to constantly have to restart the session to see your changes, to frequently have to launch a debugger to figure out the source of an error, to get absolutely no useful information when you hover over a method or property, and so on.

It reminds me of my early days as a developer 15-20 years ago, when I was coding in JavaScript.

Any system administrator who has mastered PowerShell should consider switching careers and becoming a developer.

PowerShell is a true programming language and, as it turns out, a fairly complex one.

#dotNET #PowerShell #Programming

Weird. I find this syntax (PowerShell loop):
$values | ForEach-Object { ... }

...much more elegant than (C# loop):
foreach (var value in values) { ... }

Perhaps it's time I took a more serious look at Pode:

The new VSCode light theme is a joke!

Before: good constrast, easy to spot the string interpolation.

After: even though my eyesight is pretty good, there’s just no way I can see that.
