   Thanks. I haven't used nix myself so I'm not sure... If you have the powershell nix package installed you should be able to use Install-Module like in any other environment.

   Astro is awesome. It’s easy enough to get started with a template for a static site and flexible enough to build dynamic web apps. My static personal site is Astro hosted on cloudflare pages https://github.com/ShaunLawrie&#x

   I built it into the existing PowerShellAI module because I was learning as I went and I was already using it. The module already has quite a bit of adoption too so I figure it’s a good way to find bugs and get some feedback. Just launch it

    I've always used shell scripting of various types and tend to work to whatever is available in the operating environments I'm working in. If I'm doing stuff in Windows-land I'm going to use PowerShell because it's r

    My whole career has been built around what you say you’re good at and I love it. I see debugging and optimising as puzzles. I started in test automation and performance engineering and went through sre and now platform engineering

    Nicely presented. It’s fun but the new-user learning curve is definitely frustrating (especially because most of the documentation is super dry). I ended up with this after a while of playing with the language https://github.com&

    I’ve found it pretty handy to run a defragmentation in a guest OS before trying to shrink virtual hard drives. Not sure it affects all virtual drives but hyper-v vhdx can compact poorly if the data is quite fragmented and it’s often easier

    One of the things I’ve done before among the other suggestions is to put a hidden link like /followmeifyouscraping.html in the landing page to get a bit of info about scraping volume and then you can use fail2ban filters to block if it

    I had fun a few years ago learning a little bit of COBOL and wish this had been around then because you never know if any of the documentation is relevant to modern-ish COBOL. Feel free to repurpose this version of tic tac toe for learning

    I started by copying a COBOL helloworld program and working through the concepts on https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cobol It's very lightweight but that's what I was after. What I wish I had done from the start was

    I wanted to learn a little bit of COBOL so I could have a better understanding of the code underpinning a large amount of the money that flows through our banks. I found it quite enjoyable and it's less scary than I anticipated given t
