About this episode
This episode features candid conversations from the PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit, focusing on community and career growth.
This episode of the PowerShell Podcast After Dark captures two candid bar-session conversations from the PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit, centered on community, career growth, and the real-world value of putting yourself out there. In the first segment, Josh Dearing talks about attending his first Summit, building PowerShell modules, learning from failure, and using automation to improve systems and processes in higher education.In the second, Jeff Wardlaw reflects on finally attending the event in person, the impact of meeting the people behind the tools and community, and the broader lessons around perspective, technical leadership, communication, and problem-solving. Across both conversations, the theme is clear, PowerShell is not just a toolset, it is a way into a generous technical community where curiosity, experimentation, and shared learning can meaningfully shape a career.
