Apparently it due to an issue with Kotlin - https://github.com/code-golf/code-golf/issues/151#issuecomment-1126266250
The book I wrote. When I first talked with the publisher he asked, “what skills would you look for in someone who wants to do your job?” And that’s the premise I stuck with writing it.
Basically every Windows sysadmin is indebted to Mark Russinovich and SysInternals. Fortunetly, PowerToys has come a long way because I’m pretty sure sysinternals haven’t been updated since Windows XP.
Been there. I’ve written some slick code in a weekend that has run great for years. I’ve also spent 2 hours trying to get a button lined up properly.
I’d be glad to help out where I can. I have plenty of infrastructure background, so I can help with emails, backends, some database stuff, and other admin needs. I’m not familiar with VPS, but have worked on enough platforms I’m sure I can be of service.

I’ve used ChatGPT and Copilot to help with PowerShell in the past. For the most part I’ve found it, okay. But I can definitely see how that could happen. I’ve had a few instances where is tried giving me cmdlets that don’t exist. This means it is just taking pieces of code from someone else’s project and not understanding how it all fits together. So, if I search that cmdlet there is no telling the number of results I could get from good, bad, or irrelevant sources. It would be better if it told you where that code came from. Then I could look at the original source and see if they created custom functions that these AI are considering to be built-in cmdlets.
My preference would be specific to prevent one language dominating all the discussions
Would love a PowerShell or at least general scripting/automation community
For some reason their API would not return anything for assembly. I was curious to see where it would rank too,
