Last week, I had such a blast at PSConf.eu in gorgeous Antwerp, Belgium. It was my first in-person conference in FIVE YEARS! Literally, the last time I was at a conference was at Data Grillen in June 2019. There, I professed that I'd be taking a break from speaking. Little did I know :grimace: Fast-forward five very …

Browsing the internet, with all the EU cookie consents, has made the entire internet unusable. As a dedicated Chrome user, it didn't really occur to me to give other browsers serious consideration.

If you're wondering about the uptick in SQL Server-related posts, I recently changed jobs and went back to being a SQL Server DBA. For a few years there, I switched to security engineering; I figured I'd try something new and welcomed no longer being an admin. It was nice enough and I got to do a ton of PowerShell, but …

Unfortunately, the PowerShell Azure Functions pretty much come out of the box with a high likelihood of throwing OmniSharp exceptions when debugging. Two of the files the setup process generates, launch.json and tasks.json, use the func …

I've been super busy with a couple projects (including dbatools 2.0, which will be GA soon) and hadn't kept up with much, but I got a notification on my phone for an article on infoworld.com that talked about a new GitHub Copilot feature in VS code called Copilot chat.
