Which conventions? It has a pipeline. It has stdout and stderr (plus more). It has tab completion. If you look at it like a shell with a .Net scripting layer on top it might help.

I think the PowerShell team is going to create an MCP server. Ideally something that can watch an existing open session 🙏 devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/p...

Oh! That makes sense. Dang. There probably is a trick to setting the variable to the expected scope.

Oh? Do tell. I've only poked at an existing module very briefly.

Somewhere in the #PSHSummit26 schedule is the session that changes how you work. 🗓️

You don't know which one yet. That "why didn't I know this sooner" moment is already waiting in Bellevue.

60+ sessions. April 13–16. Just show up.

PowerShell peeps are pretty friendly if you ask for help. Please for the love for all that is holy, don't write batch scripts.

Tools reference - Claude Code Docs Complete reference for the tools Claude Code can use, including permission requirements.

Claude Code now supports #PowerShell which means you don't need to run git bash! code.claude.com/docs/en/tool...

Yep, on my desk lights. Set static light colors. Switched presets.

github.com/StartAutomat... I was talking to my brother about how schemas + vibe coding works extremely well. To prove it, I had Claude write this. 10 min later with no adjustments needed I had a working version.

The System AI Made Me Do It Building a Reddit Devvit moderation tool under API constraints: YouTube playlist automation, Gemini-generated posts, and a free companion prompt-testing app.

I became a mod for r/hellocrawlers, a Dungeon Crawler Carl read along podcast, and immediately tried to automate it. Original plan failed. Claude wasn't approved. Pivoted to Gemini and shipped anyway. Constraints are just boss battles you didn't see coming!

You open to adding WLED? I think the Elgato may be the only one I have.

Also, I'm lazy to make apps so I quickly generated a skill. You can install it with `/plugin marketplace add HeyItsGilbert/awtrix` which will help you generate an App via the cmdlets.

At some point I'll share my ical setup. I send notifications to it 5m before my meeting. I'm gonna see if I can show progress bars on the current meeting. Shouldn't be too hard.

Haven't tried the but I think that's a setting. I'm assuming you've tried that.

I have been using Ulanzi Pixel clock with the awtrix firmware for a while. I've even leveraged MQTT & API to send me notifications for meetings. But last week I wanted create a new app but I didn't want to have to redo all of JSON. So I created an awtrix #PowerShell module. heyitsgilbert.github...

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’

‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’

‘Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

Talk #3 for #PSHSummit26: "Markdown Madness: Static Sites for Fun & Profit"
You write #Markdown already. What if it became a blog? A resume? A full docs site?
Jekyll, MkDocs, Hugo, Docusaurus, jsonresume -we're going on a tour! Sprinkle in some #PowerShell. Bring snacks. cloud.umami.is/q/18X...

I'm speaking at Chocolatey Fest @ PowerShell Summit 2026. Come see my talk: Stop Hand-Rolling Chocolate: Automating Chocolatey with psake

Me, looking at my #PowerShell Summit schedule: two talks, that's plenty...
Also me: Anyway here's a third one!
Handmade chocolate = charming. Handmade Chocolatey builds = a production incident waiting to happen. Let's fix that.

It is extremely wrong that there is no whistle emoji. Somebody call the Unicode Consortium

If you're at Summit this year, find me and collect several beers.

This was my favorite clip in the episode. Me leaving a job after 12+ years was basically due to giving up on arguing over quantitative vs qualitative metrics. All the senior ICs knew it was the right thing to do (and advocated), but management decided "we don't have the metrics".

Phenomenal episode! Can't wait for the book! 📚 This is totally my jam.
