What it takes to become a Senior Technical IC www.jsnover.com/blog/2011/10...

A story from early #PowerShell days when my sense of diplomacy was strictly "pre-operational." I asked my new boss—a 20-year Windows veteran with a Physics PhD—if he was an idiot because neither of us could debug a thrashing system using GUI tools. www.jsnover.com/blog/2026/02...

I wrote a #powershell function to rebuild the PATH env var because I was annoyed after installing a new CLI tool that it wasn't immediately available. This cross-platform function will update PATH with the machine/user/process-scoped vars. And now this is where you tell me there's a better way 😅

Thanks to @joshooaj.com for the inspiration, I wrote a blog post about @chocolatey.org's refreshenv command; a super-helpful utility to refresh your PATH post package operation. Hope you find it useful! steviecoaster.dev/blog/refresh... #Chocolatey #PowerShell

Remember when people thought #PowerShell would take away jobs? @allwayshype.com draws a great parallel between that moment and the current wave of AI anxiety. Her reminder: “You’re not getting paid to write code. You’re getting paid to think. You’re getting paid to solve business problems.” 1/2
