Ever wondered how hard it would be to write a #PowerShell based TUI? Use the PSTuiTools module for guidance and inspiration. github.com/jdhitsolutio...

If you are a big #PowerShell fan and new to Bluesky, take a look at the PSBluesky module. Install from the PowerShell Gallery and then run Open-BskyHelp to launch a PDF help file. The module requires PS7, and works cross-platform. Please post cross-platform issues in the GitHub repo.

I love using a TUI in #PowerShell. I've published a module to the PSGallery with a variety of sample TUIs that you can use as models for your own projects. Or have fun with them on their own. TUI's include a system status report and an MP3 player. Check the README at github.com/jdhitsolu...

A story from early #PowerShell days when my sense of diplomacy was strictly "pre-operational." I asked my new boss—a 20-year Windows veteran with a Physics PhD—if he was an idiot because neither of us could debug a thrashing system using GUI tools. www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/02...

I wrote a #powershell function to rebuild the PATH env var because I was annoyed after installing a new CLI tool that it wasn't immediately available. This cross-platform function will update PATH with the machine/user/process-scoped vars. And now this is where you tell me there's a better way 😅

$function Restore-EnvPath { $env:PATH = ('Machine', 'User', 'Process' | ForEach-Object { [environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', $_) } | Where-Object { $_ }) -join [io.path]::PathSeparator }$

I published the first version of the PSPlaywright PowerShell module. After switching to Claude, I was able to fine tune the help and tests and feel pretty good about it. I’m sure there are issues but give it a play and open issues if you find stuff! www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSP...

Remember when people thought #PowerShell would take away jobs? @allwayshype.com draws a great parallel between that moment and the current wave of AI anxiety. Her reminder: “You’re not getting paid to write code. You’re getting paid to think. You’re getting paid to solve business problems.” 1/2
