Episode notes

Pester code coverage for the longest time was based on break points and break points in PowerShell until 7.4, which will be released now are super slow. So I use the core of the new module profiler that I wrote to actually implement new version of code coverage inside of Pester. And so running tests on their profiler is definitely a great way to find slow code in your module because you exercise a lot of parts of your code. It gives a little bit more visibility into what the heck's going on.

In the latest episode of the PowerShell podcast, we had an insightful chat with Jakub Jareš, the lead maintainer of Pester and a software engineer at Microsoft. The talk circled around the history, growth, and importance of Pester, Jakub's role in the organization and delivery of PSConfEU this year, as well as Profiler, a beneficial PowerShell project for unraveling performance hurdles. The episode concluded on a personal note, discussing Jakub's journey within the PowerShell community and his ascension to his current position at Microsoft.
