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!
