Wow. I’m now paying $415/month for my Vyvanse. Yay, private health insurance and stupid high med costs!
What is that one thing you know you should know more about but never seem to find the time to properly learn it? Mine is Git.
If you're new to #PowerShell and in the IT space, be sure to check out my first #PowerShell for SysAdmins course. ~4 hours of 90% demos with real-world building scenarios. buff.ly/3hLJgOK Get a 25% off discount code for the print book on sign-up.
#PowerShell tip: If you need to quickly validate an Active Directory or local Windows account, use this function. github.com/adbertram/Rand…
Developers writing TODO and HACK comments knowing they won’t come back to them
#PowerShell tip: In PS v6+, you can add custom error messages to ValidateScript parameter validation checks using string formatting.
Still looking for some freelance #PowerShell work. DM me if you know of anything!
More knowledge often means more hesitation, but don’t let it freeze you into inaction. Find your path between learning and doing.
#PowerShell tip of the day: Use Measure-Object for quick stats on array elements, not just for file sizes. It’s efficient for getting the min, max, and average of numeric data. $data = 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 $data | Measure-Object -Minimum -Maximum -Average
#PowerShell tip of the day: Prefer `Join-Path` over string concatenation to handle path operations; it automatically accounts for missing slashes and system-specific path separators.
#PowerShell tip of the day: Use `Select-Object -First 1` instead of `[0]` for pipeline efficiency on large data sets. It stops processing as soon as the first item is processed, saving time and memory.
If you've purchased #PowerShell for Sysadmins, I'd truly appreciate it if you could submit a review on Amazon. Thank you! buff.ly/2Zgn04g
#PowerShell tip of the day: Use ‘switch -Regex` instead of multiple if statements when checking multiple conditions against the same variable.

I did it. After 43 years of life, I've finally decided to increase the default terminal font size to make it easier to see.
#PowerShell tip of the day: Speed up arrays by using the .NET class [System.Collections.Generic.List] instead of the default PowerShell array. The List class avoids the performance hit of resizing arrays on the fly. MUCH faster for large arrays.
#PowerShell tip of the day. Use variable validation typically used for parameters but for any variable.

@adbertram Another handy way to reveal SecureString: ([PSCredential]::new("dummy",$password). GetNetworkCredential().Password)
@adbertram I saw this functionality on Richard Siddaway's blog years ago, and I wrote a similar function - Get-ValidatedCredential. Super handy, and I'm adding yours to the toolkit 😀
@adbertram Never knew this! I would always use throw inside the script, but this is better
Who wouldn’t want #PowerShell tips in their terminal?? Check out @deadlydog module powershellgallery.com/packages/tiPS/…
@adbertram If you have a large dataset of numbers and want to find the max or min, I would rather go with an mathematical approach. hcritter.devdojo.com/powershell-per…
@adbertram Remember to pipe to Out-Null to drop the index value that is returned so you don't accidentally write the output to the stream
@adbertram But remember they result in different objects (hashtable and OrderedDictionary) with different methods. ContainsKey and ContainsValue are not available on the OrderedDictionary
#PSHSummit last week was awesome! Since it was my first #PowerShell Summit and first time presenting, I've written a post on my experience. Let me know what you think, if it matched your experience, and if you're thinking of attending the next Summit. blog.danskingdom.com/PowerShell-Dev…
@adbertram @BrandonPadgett They are pretty amazing when you can leverage them. I use this for reference. It was written years ago but does hold up. red-gate.com/simple-talk/de…

@adbertram Oh yeah, forgot that Runspaces and foreach-object parallel each got it down to roughly an hour. The final solution was just foreach coupled with hashtable look ups without any paralle. I’ve had some data just take ages to create the hastables and makes it too slow.
@ThePoShWolf is absolutely killing it in his talk about Hash Tables vs PSCustomObject! #PowerShell #PowerShell
@adbertram I got my first project request in almost two years today. Simple little file monitoring script to send a notification to an admin if no recent changes are detected.
