A pod on a cluster under my desk, reading my Intune device estate out of Microsoft Graph. No app registration, no client secret, *nothing* to rotate. buff.ly/2wLP2vH

Should we tell them about PowerShell? 😁

The Register:
“ Unix was built on the philosophy of small programs that can be easily piped together to build larger workflows, so that, say, the output of grep can be combined with other material through the cat (concatenate) command. As a result, developers, admins, and now AI agents write scripts that incorporate these commands.”

I'm coining the word "drivecoding" for when you are steering and micromanaging an LLM while watching its thinking and reviewing the output code. Perfect complement to vibe coding, where you let Jesus take the wheel. What do you think @markrussinovich.bsky.social ?

🚨If your #PowerShell CI/CD pipelines are failing, it's probably not because they're broken. Many GitHub workflows use Install-Module and the PowerShell Gallery is currently impacted by the Azure Front Door outage. 🎛️PowerShell gallery Status Page:

Finding out about the #azure outage because a pipeline keeps failing due to the #PowerShell gallery being down says a lot about me I guess... Time to use @posh.guru alternate mirror in production? DNS sure is a harsh mistress. #MVPBuzz

You've paywalled SAML SSO on the cloud behind an even more expensive license, which, after your recent LoC pricing changes, has forced me to run a PoC with SonarQube Community, and my eyes hate this.
