I cannot believe I actually just wrote those words, but even if you only rarely use a Windows machine, learning PowerShell will make your experience much less annoying. In other words, PowerShell saves you from having to learn the GUI equivalent, which is almost always either confusing or just broken. It was just such an experience that convinced me to give PowerShell another look.
Another compelling reason to learn it is to that you can own Windows computers more easily. If you like to hack in your spare time, and Windows OSes have the most vulnerabilities of any operating system on the planet, then it makes sense that you need to learn all the Windows shit in order to own it. (Same for JavaScript and SQL, by the way).
So I’m adding PowerShell to my learning path at some point. I have a lot more to learn in the cloud native space that matters a lot more than PowerShell to me at the moment, but I’m good with learning the “Power” of the PowerShell, which still makes me snicker because of how fucking stupid that name is. Imma bash your ‘power’ shell into submission. Watch me.
I suppose this is my coming-out to y’all. But PowerShell fan-boy might be a stretch.
