PowerShell started with a bold idea. But turning that idea into reality took an extraordinary team. 💡
⠀
And one of the people who made it happen was Bruce Payette.
⠀
A founding member of the PowerShell team, co-designer of the language, and author of “Windows PowerShell in Action”, Bruce played a fundamental role in shaping the PowerShell we know today.
Don Jones captured his contribution perfectly in his book "Shell of an idea": "...his encyclopedic knowledge of languages was key to developing PowerShell..."
I'm delighted that Bruce will join @jsnover and six other guests from the PowerShell community for our 20th anniversary livestream! 🎉
⠀
We'll revisit the early Monad days, the challenges of building PowerShell, and some of the stories behind its creation.
💬 What would you like to ask Bruce and Jeffrey about those early days?

Anthropic engineer:
"99% of people use Opus 5.5 like Google, and only 1% are running swarms of self-learning Claude agents
I'm running 65+ agents in a loop. I have Chief agent, PM agents - they manage the whole team"
in a 30-minute workshop, an Anthropic engineer revealed how to get max value from Claude Code at min. cost
this is worth more than another $650 vibe-coding course
watch today, then read how to build self-improving agentic systems with Opus 5.5 in the article below

New free course: GitHub Copilot app for Beginners
Learn to direct a team of AI agents. They plan, code, and fix. You review, preview, and ship.
8 hands-on chapters. Open source.
👉 github.com/github/copilot-ap…
Fun fact: I made the video below with the GitHub Copilot app. The agent turned my ideas into a plan, captured the real app screens, built the animations, and matched the music to the cuts. I directed every version, from the story and copy to the soundtrack. (I also said "too fast" a lot.)
Thanks to @JamesMontemagno for the inspiration!
