Using PowerShell in a Cross Platform World - Bill Hurt
summary
PowerShell Core installs on macOS and Linux as pwsh.exe and promises cross‑platform scripting but the session gives concrete tradeoffs: temp drive experimental features for scratch files, web cmdlets plus Pester for REST and testing, remoting that behaves consistently, and a background job demo shrinking from 1 minute 30 seconds to 300 milliseconds. Watch for UTF‑16/UTF‑8 and CRLF issues, module path case sensitivity, env var casing, shebang support for executable scripts, and changed cmdlet flags.
