Hey all,

I'm an engineer on the Windows Terminal. We work pretty closely with the PowerShell team, but admittedly, I'm still more of a CMD guy myself. I know, I know, "here's a nickel kid, get yourself a real shell, blah blah blah".

I'm always looking for a new place to keep my ear to the ground and get first-hand feedback from our users.

I must say I love the work you've done with Windows Terminal. Being able to have separate tabs for PowerShell, Windows PowerShell, WSL, CMD, and now Cloud Shell has been a game changer. I've been watching each release closely.

Thanks, Matt, for creating this community! I'll start helping with broadcasting and promotion of the community on the sites where I'm active.

For everyone else, here's my introduction: I am a DevOps engineer for a finance company and use PowerShell and Python daily to build infrastructure in AWS cloud.

I attempt to promote and evangelize PowerShell, helping new learners with the basics and participating in the online community as often as I can. I've been a blogger (albeit somewhat inconsistent) on PowerShell and technology in general since 2018.

I'm excited to be here and connect with like-minded individuals.

Check out my profile here for links to my blog and other socials.

Hey, all. I'm a systems administrator in a mixed environment. Use PowerShell a lot for automating various tasks, maintenance, etc.

Self-taught and been using PS for about 4 years now, daily.

Glad to see a community starting here!

That is exactly how I got my start in PowerShell too. Working as a sysadmin, if there was a task I had to do more than twice, I automated it. I started with VBS, and dabbled in PowerShell 2.0, then made the full switch when 3.0 came out. Haven't looked back since.
