Mike Kanakos is extremely active in the PowerShell community, so getting the opportunity to highlight all his contributions was pretty awesome for us. We got to talk about all of the ways we can contribute to PowerShell to keep it the best version of itself. We also did a quick dive into ChatBots and highlighted PoshBot, which can connect to several chat backends like Slack or Teams.

James runs PowerShell.org, Co-Authoring PowerShell in a Month of Lunches, and in mid-May will be running The PowerShell “Firehose Class” with Don Jones where they do a DEEP dive into PowerShell.

We are all about psreadline! The latest psreadline just hit General Availability as of February 23rd. We highlight John Savill and his awesome YouTube channel. We cover how to get psreadline up and running in VsCode. Lastly, we talk about some of our favorite features. Jordan likes the command prediction that uses your command history. Andrew loved CTRL + R which allows him to do a quick search to find an old command so he can reuse them.
In the first-ever episode, we break down who the hosts are and why we started this podcast. Getting that crap out of the way, we get to talk about PowerShell! We cover Kevin Marquette’s “Everything you want to know about” series, focusing on psobjects that we both have used to help our writing. We take a look at the module PsWordle and discover Jordan accidentally learned something. Josh King announced he has done a preview release of Burnt Toast and is looking for people to help him test, as well as join in the discussion on what could be next. Finally, we talk about why $null should be on the left side for comparisons in your scripts.
