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, and works cross-platform. Please post cross-platform issues in the GitHub repo.

I love using a TUI in #PowerShell. I've published a module to the PSGallery with a variety of sample TUIs that you can use as models for your own projects. Or have fun with them on their own. TUI's include a system status report and an MP3 player. Check the README at github.com/jdhitsolu...

The Time I Asked My Boss: Are You An Idiot? A Microsoft engineer recently told me he used Copilot to script a way out of a laggy system. He was delighted. The story triggered a memory from the early days of PowerShell when my diplomacy was c…

A story from early #PowerShell days when my sense of diplomacy was strictly "pre-operational."

I asked my new boss—a 20-year Windows veteran with a Physics PhD—if he was an idiot because neither of us could debug a thrashing system using GUI tools.

function Restore-EnvPath {
    $env:PATH = ('Machine', 'User', 'Process' | ForEach-Object {
        [environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', $_)
    } | Where-Object { $_ }) -join [io.path]::PathSeparator
}

function Restore-EnvPath { $env:PATH = ('Machine', 'User', 'Process' | ForEach-Object { [environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', $_) } | Where-Object { $_ }) -join [io.path]::PathSeparator }

I wrote a #powershell function to rebuild the PATH env var because I was annoyed after installing a new CLI tool that it wasn't immediately available.

This cross-platform function will update PATH with the machine/user/process-scoped vars.

And now this is where you tell me there's a better way 😅
