Over the last year we have committed to making the PowerShell editing experience in Visual Studio
Code a rich and productive cross-platform alternative for the PowerShell ISE. To that end, we have focused on two primary areas: bringing the PSReadLine experience to the Integrated Console, and improving the stability of the extension while editing and debugging. The goal of this blog post is to walk through how we have made efforts in these key areas, and what our next steps are to follow through on these efforts.

A customer called me two weeks ago, that he got the feedback from his customer that he is sending
some strange mails. So I had a look at the O365 security and clompliance center. After searching some reports I found out, that every E-Mail four users receive was redirected to a GMAIL address. The report also said that it was done with some inboxrules (the user never set up). Here some screenshots from the Azure Security Center and Compliance Center.

requested this feature be added to Azure Data Studio and it has become the most popular feature request for Notebooks. (Although, I'm sure it only became the most popular after they added copying from the results grid a few months ago )

I did a livestream recently where I created a function to parse an HTML table and convert it to a
PowerShell object. If you followed along, you probably noticed that I used a += with no shame whatsoever. Luckily, @PrzemyslawKlys caught it and asked that I fix it (you can see the commit history here, the actual request was a Twitter DM). This was a great reminder to me that += should be avoided!

I have a short script that uses Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to create a spooky graphical
prompt that allows you to ask questions of a Magic 8 Ball (this name may be trademarked or otherwise protected). For those of you who may not be familiar with it, this is a toy shaped like a giant 8 ball from a billiards game. You ask a question aloud, shake the ball and look at the bottom to get an answer. I did the same thing with PowerShell.
