PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2026

Corporate dysfunction is a fact of life. We see it in: siloed teams, keynote-driven projects that are abandoned after announcement, promotion-focused developers delivering checkbox features and ignoring admin needs. 
I tried to fix those problems but knew that I would fail, so I also designed PowerShell to route around the damage.
This is a case study in pragmatic design. I'll show how PowerShell's core architecture directly attacks these predictable failures. You'll see how the Adaptive Type System normalizes the 'Not-Invented-Here' data problem, how pipeline binding-by-property-name bridges the silos created by Conway's Law, and how deep extensibility empowers the community to finish the job the corporation won't. This is the story of designing for the world we have, not the one we wish we had.
