Maybe this whole AI bullshit is just a long con to get everyone to write better documentation...

A pod on a cluster under my desk, reading my Intune device estate out of Microsoft Graph. No app registration, no client secret, *nothing* to rotate. buff.ly/2wLP2vH

🔑 Still storing client secrets in your CI/CD pipelines? There’s a better way. @powers-hell.com demonstrates how Workload Identity Federation enables #Azure #DevOps and #GitHub Actions to access Azure resources without passwords, secrets, or certificates. 👉 youtu.be/MhuEm98VUWE?si=Xzv...

Read Azure KeyVault secrets from a local K8s cluster without *any* credentials! Very overdue post. Enjoy buff.ly/SpVGQJO

I wonder if I'll ever get sick of talking about credential-less identity solutions... I've been talking about this stuff for years and I'm still finding fun things!

Are your #PowerShell functions helping users — or confusing them? At #PSConfEU, @powers-hell.com shows how to improve: ✅ Input validation ✅ Argument completers ✅ Usability & #automation Better inputs = better tools. 👉 youtu.be/hYWCus5qPLc?si=plc... #IT #DevOps #Conference

Super #PSConfEU 2026! Amazing videos can appear so fast. This is hard teamwork, and especially by @thorsten.butz.io Sessions available by: Parameter magician @powers-hell.com Certificates guru @leodarcy.bsky.social Language maestro Stephane van Gulick (YT LearningInTheBasement) IDE Wiz @posh.guru

Should we tell them about PowerShell? 😁

Missed my session at @psconf.eu ? Worry not - it's already up on YouTube! #PowerShell #MVPBuzz

That's a wrap for @psconf.eu for another year. Had a great time meeting old friends and new. Time to sleep for a week and start thinking of new ways to break people's brains with #PowerShell

*SCREAMINGGGGGGGGGGGGG*

I'm coining the word "drivecoding" for when you are steering and micromanaging an LLM while watching its thinking and reviewing the output code. Perfect complement to vibe coding, where you let Jesus take the wheel. What do you think @markrussinovich.bsky.social ?

It's fun leaning things in real-time!

I decided to rename my module. Now it's called "GliderUI": github.com/mdgrs-mei/Gl... Cross-platform desktop GUI framework for #PowerShell built using Avalonia. - Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux - You can build GUIs by code or XAML - No more freezing GUIs

Picked up some power meter pedals. Looking forward to tracking my real world power while I spend the year improving my endurance & fitness. Computers suck. But tech can improve lives!

Struggling to care about tech now that everything is just ai slop? Yeah. Me too. Ideas and solving problems are what brings me passion in this space and solving those problems with my decades of experience is what brought me joy. What are your thoughts? youtu.be/dbMXi9q78Tk?...

You shouldn't read Azure for Developers from the couch. Laptop open, terminal ready, because that's exactly what this book asks of you. Read my full review on Linkedin, link in bio! #Azure #Bookreview

You can now add “prophet” to your “about me” @powers-hell.com

Another year, another certification renewal. I haven't actively done any device management work for at least 3 years, but what can I say - I guess I'm still retaining some knowledge!! #MVPBuzz

Before #Intune policies or MDM check-ins, there was... a patent. Filed in 2005. Quietly shaping how every #Windows device still checks in today. We dug up the origin story, and it’s a wild, nerdy ride ➡️ https://bit.ly/3Leefl5 #MoreThanJustPatching #PatchMyPC

🚨If your #PowerShell CI/CD pipelines are failing, it's probably not because they're broken. Many GitHub workflows use Install-Module and the PowerShell Gallery is currently impacted by the Azure Front Door outage. 🎛️PowerShell gallery Status Page:

I tried to login last week and couldn't and now I can't even load it. The PS Gallery is cursed for me.

Finding out about the #azure outage because a pipeline keeps failing due to the #PowerShell gallery being down says a lot about me I guess... Time to use @posh.guru alternate mirror in production? DNS sure is a harsh mistress. #MVPBuzz

Going through some life altering changes in my life. Spending a weekend by myself in Copenhagen. Making plans for the future. Things are weird. But coffee helps.
