An important part from the @vscode.dev Documentary about #PowerShell being the alpha dogfooder of the LSP (Language Server Protocol)
This is an awesome watch (start at 49:15 for this scene)

In today's funny #PowerShell related things I found whilst looking at PR's in the main repo
This comment from @sdwheeler.bsky.social about the PowerShell team's automation bot (not Claude or copilot etc) being thanked in the changelogs.
I'm on the fence about this "highly controversial topic"

About a month after the last 10.x servicing release comes #ILSpy 11. Ported to @avaloniaui.net, now available for Linux, Mac and Windows! THE open-source #dotnet decompiler just got ways more useful, read about the three major areas of investment at github.com/icsharpcode/...

this time pages that I know for a fact have previously built & deployed are no longer doing so, locally or otherwise
Might just take my blog totally offline & replatform it tbh as this shouldn't keep happening.

Not everyday that I find a bug that I can fix in the PowerShell code base that's actually reasonably small.
Doubly so when it was @posh.guru that added
Trying to write the test for it though is, well, making me really scratch my head, especially as it may instead be better fixed in dotnet.

3 rebuilds later after some param changes

Woke up at 7pm UK time cos I'm a night 🦉
Decided delve deep into adding a new parameter to #PowerShell
Almost, almost got it all working as I want it.
Yet I really doubt this will end up in the main repo
But a fun task to dig into

Thank you @bsky.app for not being the steaming 💩 that X has decided to be by deleting the Dim Dark mode setting.
Because nothing is ever Black or White & platforms like this really do need a middle ground.
It'd be nice for users to have the option to put their own custom CSS for the theme though
