Behind the Shell with Microsoft | The PowerShell Podcast In this episode, recorded live at PSConfEU, Andrew catches up with some of the PowerShell team from Microsoft to talk all things PowerShell—from AIShell to PSResourceGet to the future of DSC and OpenSSH.   First up is Steven Bucher, Product Manager on the PowerShell team, who discusses the massive scale of PowerShell usage, the state of PowerShell 7, and the team’s focus on security and reliability. He also gives an exciting walkthrough of AIShell and how it’s helping users stay in the terminal while getting AI-driven help, error resolution, and integration with providers like Azure OpenAI and AI Foundry.   Then we hear from Anam, a software engineer working on PSResourceGet, PowerShell Gallery, and security. She shares details on the rewrite of PowerShellGet, performance improvements, and new features like container registry support. She also dives into Microsoft's Artifact Registry (MAR) and offers her take on coding as a creative, artistic endeavor.   Lastly, Tess joins the conversation to talk about OpenSSH and Desired State Configuration (DSC). She highlights the native cross-platform capabilities of DSC v3, its decoupling from PowerShell, and the move toward supporting resource development in languages like Python. Tess also shares the significance of SSH server availability in Windows Server 2025 and reflects on her open-source journey and love of outdoor sports.   Whether you’re managing packages, remoting with SSH, exploring AI integrations, or just want to know more about some of the people behind PowerShell, this episode delivers valuable insights from the team building the tools you use.    Links and Mentions: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anamnavied/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/tess-gauthier-a43a368a/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenabucher/ https://andrewpla.tech/links https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell https://github.com/PowerShell/AIShell https://github.com/PowerShell/PSResourceGet https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH https://github.com/microsoft/DSC The PowerShell Podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/F4mVUHinjf4 The PowerShell Podcast: https://pdq.com/the-powershell-podcast Guests: Stephen Bucher – Product Manager II on the PowerShell Team Anam Navied – Software Engineer 2 @ Microsoft Tess Gauthier – Software Engineer @ Microsoft | OpenSSH

I slapped together a new #PowerShell module, PesterExplorer, that creates a TUI to look at your Pester run results. It leverages PwshSpectreConsole to create the TUI. Everyone knows I love #Pester. Feedback and suggestions welcome!

Spent some time this weekend working on my first published #PowerShell module for exploring installed Modules. It really was an excuse to play around with PwshSpectreConsole but hopefully it will be helpful for someone. Check out the short demo below or find it on Github github.com/DearingDev/M...

Looking good! I spent a little too long yesterday trying to figure out why Get-SpectreImage wasn't working for me before realizing the URLs I was pulling were broken. 🥲

Check out my new blog post on #PowerShell output streams!

Glad I caught @posh.guru's demo of devcontainers for #PowerShell! Super cool to see how seamless the development experience can be.

About PSPodcast PowerShell module

I've pushed a new version of the PSPodcast module to the #PowerShell Gallery.

All the red text has me feeling like an idiot sandwich.

I'm getting whatever the current gen X3D is when I build next. I hope my current build has 3 more years before I relegate it to a home server. 6900XT died this past winter. XFX replaced it with a 6950XT, so that was nice.

I bought a 14th gen to replace it because I was worried how long the RMA would take (surprisingly quick). I was going to sell the unopened 13th gen but maybe I should keep it as a spare.

Lovely. I recently had to RMA a 13th gen processor that died in my home PC. Was hoping we were finally past this.

Alton Brown is definitely the debug stream.

Maybe Anthony Bourdain for the verbose stream?

If #PowerShell output streams were celebrity chefs, who would they be?

The error stream definitely feels like Gordon Ramsay...

My latest blog post dives into the #PowerShell "pipeline" - it's like a conveyor belt for data! Check it out here and let me know your thoughts: www.dearing.dev/posts/The-Po...

This week has been very stressful and very rewarding. The #powershell community is unbelievably supportive.

Love the energy and wisdom you two bring. Thanks for sharing!

I used it today to pull and save the last 10 podcasts and then send them over to whisper for transcriptions. Apparently there is a powershell module to interface with whisper so I may test and see if those place nicely together this evening.

Any new dad jokes?

It looks likes like you won the award in 2055. So I look forward to seeing what you've made in 30 years. I know this piece of art will stand the test of time.

Nice! What'd the total cost end up being?
