Speaking at PowerShell Summit 2026 - Gilbert Sanchez

Talk #1: "From Burnout to Built-to-Last: The Open Source Org Advantage"
Passion is a great start. It's just not a great bus factor mitigation strategy.
Come learn how orgs keep projects alive - plus the free tools FOSS projects are sleeping on.

It is extremely wrong that there is no whistle emoji. Somebody call the Unicode Consortium

If you're at Summit this year, find me and collect several beers.

This was my favorite clip in the episode. Me leaving a job after 12+ years was basically due to giving up on arguing over quantitative vs qualitative metrics. All the senior ICs knew it was the right thing to do (and advocated), but management decided "we don't have the metrics".

Phenomenal episode! Can't wait for the book! 📚 This is totally my jam.

PowerShellBuild v0.8.0: Authenticode Signing & New Documentation | psake PowerShellBuild v0.8.0 brings Authenticode code-signing support for PowerShell modules, and comprehensive docs are now available on the psake docs site.

Folks using #PowerShellBuild and #psake to build your #PowerShell modules, our newest release adds tasks and functions to allow you to certificate sign your modules. psake.dev/blog/powersh...

Feedback and requests are welcome!

# TODO: ~~Steal this~~ Use this as a model and add support to PowerShellBuild

GitHub - jborean93/PowerShell-PublishTest: Testing for publishing a PowerShell module to different repositories Testing for publishing a PowerShell module to different repositories - jborean93/PowerShell-PublishTest

At work we need to publish a PowerShell module but didn't want to deal with PSGallery tokens and more permissions we need to audit over time. I've tried out GitHub Container/OCI and Nuget feeds as well as Azure Artifacts. github.com/jborean93/Po...

TLDR: Use Azure Artifacts.

This has been on my to do list for a while. We kick off tests as part of our local and remote CI via Pester, so using this + PSScriptAnalyzer would be very convenient!

I was going to reply and tell you that's where it's supposed to work, and usually there isn't much say (especially with MSIX, etc.). But I re-read and I agree with you re: wanting to install to other drives.
Looks like you could choose where MSIX apps are installed but it's all or nothing 😔

I don't know if that worse than the PowerShell haters from weird domains.

Don't forget how you can't elevate.

GitHub - HeyItsGilbert/ObsidianTaskNotesExtension: View and manage Obsidian Task Notes from Windows Command Palette View and manage Obsidian Task Notes from Windows Command Palette - HeyItsGilbert/ObsidianTaskNotesExtension

Wanted fast task capture without switching windows. Built a Windows Command Palette extension for Obsidian TaskNotes.

Search, create, complete tasks - all from a hotkey.

Vibe coded in less than a day. (First C# project!) Thanks to the TaskNotes team for the OpenAPI spec!

Build tools are hard to learn, but psake's patterns work across .NET, Node, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. Learn once, use everywhere.

We just released an Agent Skill to help you level up faster - works in Claude and Copilot.

Same conference, special track, fantastic experience.

You should! Not sure why I never considered square root for batching. I almost always do limits base on number of cores, etc. Got any advice on tracking perf across runspaces? That's something I always bang my head on.

Police Unmask Millions of Surveillance Targets Because of Flock Redaction Error Flock is going after a website called HaveIBeenFlocked.com that has collated public records files released by police.

NEW: Completely unredacted Flock audit logs have been released to the public by numerous police departments and in some cases include details on millions of Flock license plate searches made by thousands of police departments from around the country.

What I really needed right now was a giant omniscient machine intelligence second-guessing me.

I've had a dozen pretty convincing emails this week about failed API requests, exceeding quotas, that kind of thing - but this latest one? Wow... This is social engineering on a whole new level.

It was more like, "why can't we have a good shell?" If you've ever used a bash clone on windows they're awful and break in the weirdest ways. I was a Linux admin turned Windows admin. PowerShell is the only way to manage Win machines at scale programmatically. Also: Loops in PS > Loops in sh.
