I will say if you run PowerShell (pwsh - cross platform vs no "Windows PowerShell") it feels a lot more like modern posix shells. Tab completion, etc. is built in.

I always saw the multiple output streams (e.g. about_Output_Streams) as a good thing. Something that kills me in the posix space is when people use stderr as the messaging stream. In PowerShell you can write to the host for the user, but the return is an object.

The coreutils pain point is frustrating, but MS did release github.com/microsoft/co... (it has it's own pain points). It's annoying it's not on the box by default. I agree that sometimes a whole module/package to solve a small thing can be a pain.

Every time I have to write a loop in bash it hurts. What don't you like about PowerShell? I know most folks who rarely use it hate on it's verbosity.

If the word "AI" wasn't in this message, I'd say maybe it was a new user and we should be welcoming them. I'm assuming they're touting it to be the next best thing since sliced bread.

Six months to land PowerShell tab completion in shtab (Python, argparse). Final boss: `[\\/]` in a Python template collapses to `[\/]`. A character class with exactly one slash. The forward one. Windows paths silently stopped completing. Escaping is undefeated 🫠 github.com/tqdm/shtab/pull/212

You're shipping faster than ever with AI. So why do you feel fried? Running 5 agents isn't 5x output. It's 5 junior engineers tapping your shoulder - and nobody warned you about the cognitive bill. How I protect my focus: gilbertsanchez.com/posts/using-...

AI lets you ship faster, but the throughput has a hidden cost: cognitive exhaustion. Here's how I run agents without burning out.

Something kind of "funny" is that it will work if you save the file with Unicode encoding + BOM. One of the questions I used to ask folks in interviews would be around things like this. When you support a global org, you'll deal with Unicode in names, addresses, etc. If they new it was ++ signal.

I've been using the wsb CLI for the most part. For a project where I use sandbox a lot, I'll write a wsb file with my mapped folders, and I'll have a simple function to launch the sandbox and run my startup script from a mapped folder.

"I am what the kids call spicy brained." That was my icebreaker at #PSHSummit. Three talks, psake v5, Plaster v2, and I bought a domain live on stage. But the thing that really stayed with me? Every person who stopped to say thanks for talking about ADHD. Full recap:

A manager "talking at" is a waste of everyone's time. IMO as a manager, if I've given advice I'm on the hook for the result. If I gave advice and you ignored it, then I can't cover for you. I highly recommend reading Never Split the Difference.

Just came back in my feed. My 2c: "Is it a bad time to give you some feedback?" allows the other side an out and let's them protect their autonomy. It's better to start from a true commitment vs a false one. A false "yes" means they're not gonna listen, they're just letting you talk at them.

I will also say, it's like knowing English and having to learn another language where the subject ordering is different. Just takes some time and practice. There are some great "translators" available. "How do you write ln -s /foo /bar in pwsh?"

Gilbert Sanchez (💻 HeyItsGilbert) @gilbertsanchez.com · 27/04/2026

If you had to shrink touch, mkdir, and ln into one command you get New-File. PowerShell does sort of stray from "One Thing" philosophy, but that's more from how it's pipeline works + it's OOP nature. Means the pipeline handles more than stdio.
