I found the documentation on how to contribute to PowerShell/PowerShell a bit daunting. The more
links I followed, the more detailed and complex everything got. At that point I felt I was not ready to contribute. But eventually, I did. And I realized there may be more people willing to contribute to PowerShell, but don't know where to start, and there does not seem to be a guide of how to do so in an easy way. Also, there are ways to contribute apart from writing C# code.

When people (at least IT people) thinks about PowerShell, they think about some magic commands and
maybe about some scripts and sometime more. PowerShell is more than that. It's not only a sequential programming language it's also a functional language. You can create functions and modules, but not only you can use it as configuration management with DSC and other tools, you can use it in serverless platforms like AWS Lambda or Azure Functions, you can build cloud solutions either on Azure or AWS. You can build complete solutions with PowerShell.

We were having some odd problems with Scheduled Tasks, just not running when scheduled etc... I'm
pretty sure it was due to permissions. But that didn't stop me from writing something to monitor them! The script loops through all scheduled tasks and if it finds Tasks that haven't run in a day and aren't disabled, it will log it to a array, and then send off a email HTML Chart with relevant information.
