Daniel Schroeder | aka deadlydog @danskingdom.com · 18/09/2026VS Code has been very slow to load up for me lately. Probably time for me to do some debloating of my extensions 😛 000
Daniel Schroeder | aka deadlydog @danskingdom.com · 16/07/2026Happy to share that I was renewed as an MS MVP, and congrats to all of the other MVPs getting renewed today. Here's to another year of learning, sharing, and growing together. #MVPBuzz 4171
Daniel Schroeder | aka deadlydog @danskingdom.com · 14/07/2026Thank you! I’ve been trying to get my teenage son to move out for years, and GitHub Copilot came up with a plan and disabled wifi on all his devices. So easy! #JustKidding 120
Daniel Schroeder | aka deadlydog @danskingdom.com · 10/07/2026Don’t feel too bad. I made the same decision in one of my modules, so it’s clearly a fairly common problem. We should probably get the PSScriptAnalyzer message updated to include using an alias as the recommended solution. 010
Daniel Schroeder | aka deadlydog @danskingdom.com · 25/06/2026Off the top of my head, having good —help documentation in the CLI with examples, using standard switch/flag syntax, and the option to output in json format for easier tool consumption 010

Daniel Schroeder | aka deadlydog @danskingdom.com · 17/06/2026I didn’t realize UniGetUI had that capability.

Daniel Schroeder | aka deadlydog @danskingdom.com · 10/04/2026Good to know. I've never used a 4k monitor but have been debating switching. My setup for the past ~6 years is my laptop (primary) + 3 1080p monitors (pic). I've been considering 2x4k monitors side-by-side, or just 3x1080p horizontal monitors. Would need to purchase new arms to hold 3 horizontal tho 010
