The Power in PowerShell is YOU.
PowerShell makes YOU AWESOME!
PowerShell makes YOU AWESOME!
I just wrote a PowerShell script that anyone in the company can use to fix an ongoing issue.
It works! I don't care if no one ever uses it, it works! And I didn't use AI to figure it out! Just old-fashioned forum hunting for the commands I needed.
TAKE THAT COPILOT! I DID IT WITHOUT YOU!

#Intune finally supports native PowerShell scripts for Win32 app installs. No more wrapping scripts inside .intunewin files. You can update scripts without repackaging and choose 32 or 64 bit. Way cleaner and easier to manage.

Alt: Hermes Conrad knows they grow up fast, but he couldn't possible calculate all the of the benefits PowerShell has brought over the past 19 years.
Think of how much joy PowerShell has brought you, how much time it has saved you, how many things you've done with it, and then multiply it by however many millions of people now know PowerShell as a friend.
