Episode notes

When you're done writing a code there's three components, there's the actual code, there's testing and there's documentation. It feels like without having all three components, whatever you have as into finished product yet. But they're all I don't want to say significant but they're all a big big time case after the after the code is written so it's somewhere in there you got a finagle where you can get it all done.

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.
