I got enough requests that I decided to experiment with Office Hours. This is an opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics, including: - PowerShell - Technology - Science - Philosophy - Whatever I look forward to connecting with you. calendar.app.google/PfayYCAYwTFG...

yanno, i love powershell, but it’s not worth all the bitching from my colleagues (“WHY NOT JUST USE BASH?!?!”) people just be set in their ways, i guess

Use the tools that make you successful my friend.

i’m language agnostic bro

You're not sure languages exist? J/k, but I seriously don't understand this as a philosophical point. When we are talking algorithms, sure, it's good to be "language independent". IMO claiming to be language agnostic is like claiming to be unbiased. Best to confront our biases then deny them.

i meant it as “i seriously don’t care what language/tool we use, just be consistent and use one that fits”

Thanks for clarifying and sorry for the typo. I suppose part of what I'm trying to point out is there is a degree of religiosity in how we talk about languages. I don't want to disparage anyone's faith in a language, and I don't want them to disparage mine. Make sense ?

sure. i don’t disparage anyone’s commitment to anything, aside from Cybertruck owners. use what you want, it affects me naught

💯 on cyber truck ownership being worth calling out on multiple levels. I suppose I am also saying that if someone wants to work with another language that should be their prerogative. I don't love the idea of a "closed shop" when it comes to languages.

i agree to a point. personal projects? yes, go wild. enterprise projects? thou shalt use what we tell you to use
