@guyrleech Join-Path can combine an arbitrary number of elements if you use the '-AdditionalChildPath' parameter.

@SizeCow @JeffHicks Including a logging function might help. There are a few good module-based ones on PS Gallery.

@denisngahu @dfinke In the same way, if you develop a useful solution, consider publishing it to psgallery, talk about it on r/powershell, or blog about it so other people can stand on YOUR shoulders. The ps community can't rely on just a few people to keep it inspired!

@nexxeln @marklynchdev Until real-time AI video generation gets good enough to look like live-broadcast sports, and a group of media companies get together to make a virtual AI-powered sports league trained on decades of reels. Every play is guaranteed to be exciting, and there are no players to pay.

@leo_guinan Can you share any resources for how to get started and for using AI as more than a toy? I've safely skipped the early adopter phase of many disruptive technologies, but this feels different; leveraging AI tech feels critical to staying above the API and competitive career-wise.

@dfinke If you're doing TDD, then yes.

@krisnova I currently work mostly on windows-centric infrastructure automation in Azure. I'm writing lots of PowerShell and a little C#. Does Rust have a place, and value-add in the stack I'm working with? (Also, I enjoy, even with all the rough edges, C and C++ style of coding)

@leo_guinan @andrew_goodman I'm seeing a lot of these posts. What's the purpose?

@mgm8784 @willfishforfree @lmsahar @fawfulfan @daffi515 @Mythical It makes me intensely angry when I think about how I was taken advantage of because I genuinely thought that I had to convert people to save their souls from hell. It just clicked in my head one day that it was all just... wrong, and I walked away.

@mgm8784 @willfishforfree @lmsahar @fawfulfan @daffi515 It's an extremist nihilist doomsday cult that has blind faith in a modern interpretation of the Bible that have no attachment to history or academic theology.

@mgm8784 @willfishforfree @lmsahar @fawfulfan @daffi515 The basis of the Evangelical faith is being hated. They view themselves as totally separate from the "heathens". To them, they are Not Of This World (they are part of God's Kingdom), the Earth is temporary and the Earth and all non-believers will be thrown into a lake of fire.

@mgm8784 @willfishforfree @lmsahar @fawfulfan @daffi515 But that naive (or malicious - I'm sure not all Evangelicals are as naive as I was) belief is being weaponized into Evangelical Fascism by politicians, grifters, and wannabe authoritarian to create an ignorant herd of followers and destroy freedoms. It's self-serving and evil.

@mgm8784 @willfishforfree @lmsahar @fawfulfan @daffi515 This, but (at least the churches I was part of) didn't exactly do it intentionally. At least I didn't. Being obnoxious was "being unafraid to show our faith in God", and when people told us to fuck off, it was interpreted as "See! The devil IS trying to stop us! Evangelize more!"

@lmsahar @willfishforfree @fawfulfan @daffi515 I used to be an evangelical. Back in those days, we praised each other for breaking rules and being obnoxious while proselytizing. We felt the conflict was proof of Christianity being persecuted, and that those opposing us were being controlled by Satan. Like, literally.

One of the challenges organizations/leaders face is that innovation is rebellion that succeeds. Until it succeeds, it is just rebellion. That is why the exec yelled at me, "Jeffrey, what part of F***KING 'WINDOWS' is confusing you?" The CLI was a rebellion.
