Using Automation To Elevate Your Code Creation
summary
Demonstrates concrete automation: scaffolding PowerShell modules with plaster templates (or stucco), splitting 5,000‑line modules into many dot‑sourced functions for easier merges, shipping shared Snippets via a VS Code extension built with yo code + vsce, and deploying the .vsix into user extension folders or via SCCM. Shows PS Script Analyzer rule sets used in CI, claims templates survive five years of reuse, and reports GitHub Copilot is inconsistent for enforcing team standards.
