My favorite video with Jeffrey Snover:
youtu.be/ZlivNGCkakY

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.

Been working on this one for a while — it's a little bit of history of a key foundation of internet technology, and a little bit of an explainer about how people _actually_ invent things. This is the amazing (true!) story of how Markdown took over the world. www.anildash.com/2026/01/09/h...

I built my personal website in a few hours by pairing with #GitHub Copilot.
GitHub Actions deploys it automatically after every push.

Want me to share the workflow + structure?

Since today is the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere (aka begin of winter), it’s a perfect match with my PoShaKucha „about_Epochs“. All you ever wanted to know about calendars but were afraid to ask.

I‘ll be available in our Gather world this morning (Friday). Any Q related to #PSConfEU 2026 ?
Check your abstracts (CfP end this weekend)? Thinking about a PoShKucha? Bike tour?
Let’s chat !

I think Microsoft does not advertise enough. Perhaps it should incorporate more and more intrusive advertising into its own products. 😉

Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants its poor AI products
A new report details how Microsoft has cut some internal goals for AI sales, why? Nobody wants to use its weak products.

Inspired by the talks from various community heros like @robsewell.com, @funbucket.dev and finally
@thorsten.butz.io with his #OTP project, I decided to get a bit deeper into this.

The project maybe has some kind of niche-usage, but I can utilize it for real world challenges.
