Some time ago I've done #powershell meetup for PSUG Rhein-Neckar. Showing how to cover your existing PowerShell code with Pester tests. Recording was published today, so here it is:

🚀 May the PowerShell 4th be with you.

💪 Let's fight the dark side of manual, repetitive tasks one script at a time.

🎉 Happy May The 4th.

Did you know, that Jeffrey Snover thought about taking PowerShell, license it from Microsoft and do a startup?

He talks about it in my "Inside IT Automation" interview with him:

Do you remember Batchman from 1989?

I used it during my time as an IT administrator at SAS Institute.
