Episode notes

You don't need to know 99% of what the profiler module can do because you just use a single command-led which is called trace script. And then you just look at the single table, which is called top 50 self duration and you will just get the lines of code that are taking most of the time. But I will say it's pretty impressive. To me, it sounds quite cool. I want to dig into this project, read a little bit more and see how you're interacting with the engine on that level."

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.
