The shell just gives you a simple interface and the ability to glue lots of small tools together. And for that you don't need PowerShell itself: The power of the Linux shell isn't really the shell itself, it's in the powerful tools you can call from it and how you can interact with the Kernel and other components of the OS. The only thing new PowerShell brings to the table is to pipe structured objects instead of only arbitrary data. Wokwokwok, cobbal and oefrha made excellent points in the sibling comments. None of them go in the direction that powershell goes in. You'll note that all of these shells try to be a better hammer. > Particularly in the recent history of "every day, another shell" on linux/mac. well, while I see that sometimes, it's maaaaybe nice to have a screwdriver as well, I certainly don't see the need for powershell. Meanwhile, us linux folks are sitting here with our hammer and all of our nails, and. (neither does bash for that matter) So powershell is a godsend. You need a wrench and a socket set for many tasks, and CMD simply doesn't do that very well.

bat scripts forever, which is not a particularly good hammer, but more importantly, Windows automation is very much not-nail like. So system facilities and applications that don't script well with a shell script like bash (or csh or zsh to tcsh.) never survived.īasically, everything in linux automation is a nail, and bash is a very good hammer. If somebody tried to make a thing, and said thing was difficult to script with bash, nobody used the thing. Linux and its ecosystem evolved alongside bash. I don't have any experience with iOS, and haven't scripted in anger in powershell. But after some digging, it turned out that, contrary to what the MS docs said, you can't connect to Office365 from linux.

The credentials were, of course, OK (they worked fine in the web-based admin console). But everything ended abruptly with some "incorrect credentials" or similar.

I mean, if you're not sure, who can be?Īnyway, it managed to install whatever libraries it wanted, so I was ready to go. Since it was my first attempt at running this on Linux, I was following along with the MS docs (actual docs.ms, not the TechNet circus) and I started getting uncomfortable with statements along the lines of "this should work". I daily drive a Linux box, but I sometimes have to interact with my employer's MS ecosystem (that's technically not my job, so running Linux is fine most of the time).Īfter waiting for the installation to do god knows what for what felt like ever (and I was running an 8 core Xeon with a fast NVMe drive at the time.) I attempted to connect to the Office 365 tenant to do something.

I've actually installed Powershell on my Linux PC last year. In any event, don’t feel too bad for him - he did fine, and PowerShell is one of the features that let Windows stay competitive with Linux as the world transitioned to the cloud. I’d personally like a short memoir instead of the tweets.

So, I think the full story is actually a lot more interesting than the tweets. What surprises me is everything not said here - I know a number of MS Partner-level folks, and they all strike me as perfectly capable of funding and hiding a reasonable-sized team to work on anything they think is important in fact reducing and removing precisely this practice is one of the reforms Satya has made - getting upper echelon fiefdoms more aligned. For recent years, L68 all-in comp is probably right around $1mm a year, although I’m sure that was a bit lower when PowerShell was being written, and much higher in toto if you held on to your RSUs. He notes he got busted down from L69 to L68 - L68 is a significant cutoff inside MS, titled “Partner”. This is an intriguing peek into some upper echelon MS politics.
