Have you been part of #mentorship, either as #mentor or mentee? If a framework or guideline used, I would be interested in learning more about it.

Please comment below or send me a DM. Thanks!

It's been nearly two years since I've written an article for my technical journal. While it's not exactly directly related to #PowerShell, it is related to community and mentorship.

For mental health safety, I've mostly stopped. I only have this account and a LinkedIn that check maybe a couple times a month. I deleted all my other socials. It's been kinda nice.

I connect with friends through Discord (DM and various servers).

I kinda miss many of the TTRPG TikTok'rs, though.😕

I use this #PowerShell module on a daily basis. So much easier than struggling to read something small in the task bar. And you can use it as a model for your WPF-based PowerShell projects. github.com/jdhitsolu...
