Cooking a major update to WinUIShell.

I've just finished fixing all the build errors caused by my C# source generator. Thanks to that, all WinUI3 controls will be supported in the next release. Yes, all of them🎉

I love that the pwshSpectreConsole module works cross-platform. it wouldn't take much to turn this code into a simple #PowerShell function.

PowerShell Is Fun mkay with Harm Veenstra Microsoft MVP Harm Veenstra, creator of PowerShellIsFun.com, joins The PowerShell Podcast to talk about productivity, consistency, and why PowerShell really is fun. Harm shares how blogging regularly helped accelerate his learning, improve his workflow, and deepen his connection to the community. He also discusses his recent transition to macOS, how he uses PowerShell across Mac, Linux, and Windows, and why modern PowerShell is far more cross-platform than many people realize.The conversation dives into VS Code extensions, GitHub Codespaces, WSL, Nerdfonts, and practical terminal setups, along with honest thoughts on AI-generated scripts, learning the hard way, and why asking questions publicly is one of the fastest paths to growth.Key Takeaways: Consistency beats perfection – Having a repeatable workflow for writing, scripting, or learning makes long-term progress almost automatic. PowerShell is truly cross-platform – Running PowerShell on macOS, Linux, WSL, and containers unlocks powerful workflows beyond Windows-only thinking. Community accelerates everything – Asking questions, sharing small discoveries, and contributing publicly leads to faster learning, confidence, and career growth. Guest Bio:Harm Veenstra is a Microsoft MVP, consultant, blogger, and community contributor best known for PowerShellIsFun.com, where he publishes frequent, practical PowerShell content. He is an active participant in the PowerShell community and a regular conference attendee and speaker.Resource Links: PowerShell Is Fun – https://powershellisfun.com Connect with Andrew - https://andrewpla.tech/links Install Nerdfonts with PowerShell – https://powershellisfun.com/2026/01/30/install-nerdfonts-using-powershell/ GitHub Codespaces – https://github.com/features/codespaces PowerShell Conference Europe – https://psconf.eu PDQ Discord – https://discord.gg/PDQ Fred's Module Building PS Wednesday – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAjtbZktL8w The PowerShell Podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/V6kWnmrHOms

My favorite video with Jeffrey Snover:

I watch this often since I regularly show this in my trainings. It’s getting more interest day after day, year after year.

Jeffrey talks about #Powershell v1 and it’s „unique selling point“. He nails it so beautifully, a must watch.
