Familiarity breeds contempt

Hahaha, Bernard is awesome.

Yeah, I noticed posts from it last night and looked around, it’s… Confusing, I don’t really understand their position even after reading their description.

I know all of those besides Almost Friday. I made that list ages ago tbh, there’s also the completely random shit like serspence, cherdleys, Trevor Wallace and Ryan the leader. They do a bunch of stuff with Joel Haver as well.

Britanick just started doing vids again too!

Yep, the disparaging comments you get on anything where you mention PowerShell are a sign of some deep rooted prejudices and the unwillingness to learn something new because of them. They’ll rather scoff and pretend that they’re morally superior because hurry durr Microsoft.

I’m glad that there are people who appreciate it for everything it can and does do. I cringe every time I have to use bash because of just how bad and cumbersome it is to use.

Thanks for the tip!

Probably the most unpopular opinion here but PowerShell.

My main reason is that it’s extremely easy to learn and is a good intro to object orientated programming.

People bash it but it’s extremely easy to inspect objects, get any properties and methods associated with that object or class, walk through all the properties of the object and transform that into whatever you need.

It has a very fast turnaround time when developing code as you can run tiny snippets at a time and understand their outputs before moving to the next bit.

I’m not a Dev and end up having to write python from time to time and I hate it. At one point I just needed to understand an object in a variable and I couldn’t do it, the command dir exists but it didn’t give me any of the info I needed. There’s a function in PowerShell called Get-Member (alias: gm) that you can pipe anything to and it will show you all those details of the object.

It helped me tremendously when I was just starting out.

Its super powerful, it can do anything C# can do because it’s built on it, you can also run inline C, C# and C++ code with on the fly compilation.

It’s also OSS and cross platform.

Simply because it’s a system based on infinite growth in a finite world.

Look at what the greed of capitalism is doing to our planet.

In a perfect world where humans aren’t greedy, maybe it could work, but humans are evil and greedy and it’ll never work.
