Wednesday April 15, 2026 2:45pm - 3:30pm PDT

There are a lot of great features for debugging PowerShell withing VSCode. And if you're like me.... you never use them.... Let's change that today. I've made it my goal this year to be better and more consistent with how I debug my code and handle errors in my scripts. In this session, we're going to explore how errors are surfaced in PowerShell and how to handle those errors responsibly. We...

Open Packages are Overpowered
Wednesday April 15, 2026 2:45pm - 3:30pm PDT

NuGet and Chocolatey are a lot more tasty than you might think.

For example, did you know we can turn any package into a web server? That's pretty sweet! We can also scan them to see what's inside without it harming us (also pretty sweet).

In this talk, we'll go over some of the overpowered things you can do with Open Packages like NuGet, Chocolatey, and PowerShell Gallery Modules.

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...
