Welcome to the new /m/Powershell magazine on kbin.social. Feel free to introduce your self, how you got started using Powershell, your primary use, and any neat projects you've worked on.

I've been using Powershell in my software deployment position for the last 5 years to help automate our install and server needs, and have been loving every minute of it.

Love to see a Powershell magazine! I got started using PS at work. I wrote and maintain a couple large-ish scripts. One to automate syncing configurations between servers - lots of API calls, handling results, pushing results to SQL, and alerting for issues. Another to assist with bulk importing data from a client's arbitrary format to our internal format, with a lot of sanity checks, plug and play field conversion functions, logging and metrics, etc. I routinely use it to import a few million records at a time and load them into an API at a fixed rate with a fixed end time.

I really like it as a language. I would say PS and JS are my favorite languages to work in these days.

It's nice when you can have the system do the work for you as well, and automate what you can too.

Definitely. It's it's certainly pleasant to see a table filled with successful jobs!
