⚖️ Low-code too basic, high-code too much?
At #PSConfEU 2025, @rprust.bsky.social showed how Logic Apps + #PowerShell strikes the perfect balance:
✔ Visual + scriptable
✔ Easy to track
✔ Powerful for alerts & remediation

I just published my first #vscode extension 🎉

5 minutes of blindly configuring a Windows Sandbox resulted in a few hours adding schema validation, completions and syntax highlighting.

And a few more learning how to publish extensions... 🙂

I slapped together a new #PowerShell module, PesterExplorer, that creates a TUI to look at your Pester run results. It leverages PwshSpectreConsole to create the TUI. Everyone knows I love #Pester. Feedback and suggestions welcome!

Put together a little video on using #PowerShellUniversal with @dbatools.io to create a cool dashboard!

What do you think? What should I add? (especially to the home page 🤣)

Looking for tips and resources to writing content, primarily blog articles. Will focus on technology topics. Humor or not, tone and language, 1st vs 3rd person, things to avoid etc. Any recommendations?

Note to self: X test locations = X executions per interval. This naive user just spent $10 on a silly URL test in #Azure. 😄 That explains why MS pushes 5 or more locations.
