As a UNIX-aligned engineer, I've always looked down on anything Microsoft.

But a recent cross-platform project forced me to learn PowerShell — a technology which, just like blockchain, is amusing by how its core idea almost makes sense.

I want to explore the psychological impact that a piece of documentation had on me. A political piece on par with Machiavelli, "The Monad Manifesto."

PowerShell is fantastic in practice but whenever I think of writing shell scripts I think of bash first.

Bash is a lot more pleasant to work with overall, the biggest concern most people have is that it can be cryptic. IMO PowerShell scripts can be the exact same kind of voodoo.
