MVP Summit 2025

This year was my first in-person MVP Summit at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond. In this blog post, I will highlight a few things about the week, but... I won't share any details about the sessions because of the non-disclosure agreement (NDA). 🙂

When you take a look at your old PowerShell scripts…

Sometimes, I browse my old scripts in my private GitHub repository and think... Why did I write it / Where's the error handling / I could improve this with what I learned after writing that years ago, etc. In this blog post, I will show you a few examples of just that and how I improved 🙂
