Episode notes

PowerShell has been around for 12 years, but it's just getting more and more mature. I was fascinated by one module from way back when it has been leading to so many things. The new power YAML is a fork of that one. It makes me feel happy to be a PowerSheller. You were at a very special PowerShell conference in your backyard. Is that right? That's true.

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.
