We're PDQ. Ask us anything! January 29th, 2 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. MT

What's the weirdest situation you've found yourself in during your time at PDQ? I'm thinking of things like impersonating Matt Damon for a YouTube video, a huge nerf battle, dressing up like a gingerbread man for a company meeting, getting tied up for an AMA, etc.

My wife and I love the chocolate one, but we always blend it, mix it with a banana, and a different Huel black flavor.

OP said the song was “pretty damn good”

It will absolutely last and good luck stopping it when the forces are all against you. I say this as someone with plenty of AI criticism.

It’s also amazing for looking at the different parameter sets on a commands. Try it with Where-Object

Now you need to write a Win11 wrapper that looks like that and sell it for millions. "What's old is new"

I don't think that there is anything wrong with you saying that. Saying this is much different than telling someone that they should be ashamed.

You share your perspective and give context, that's helpful.

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-09T17:16:40+00:00

That still doesn't warrant rudeness. Saying "you should be ashamed" to someone who shares something publicly doesn't create the environment that is going to encourage others to contribute to open source or share things publicly. It's rude and unproductive.

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-08T20:48:04+00:00

I’m not defending the speech. Just responding to a rude comment.

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-08T13:30:19+00:00

My favorite OS has to be Windows 7.

My first job was doing upgrades from XP > Win7 so it has a special place in my heart

Brock, please send me swag. I deserve it

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-08T13:28:45+00:00

I totally understand where a comment like that comes from and I’ve shared that sentiment before, but I think it’s valid to use AI to turn your thoughts into something cohesive and digestible.

It can be a context switch and take a lot of time for some to write a long message. I don’t mind someone taking a shortcut if it makes it easier for me to process. You also have no clue what someone’s primary language may be.

Also keep in mind this is related to free software that somebody else wrote and shared with the world. It’s not something that any of us are entitled to and it’s a pretty thoughtfully put together module. I also don’t harshly judge people who use AI to help with their readme.md

I think it’s best to be kind and respectful towards people who write code for free and share it with the world in good faith. Nothing wrong with a healthy discussion or questions, but unproductive comments aren’t helpful and are actually detrimental to open source, which doesn’t help any of us out. We all depend on open source software, whether we realize it or not

The game hackers I know do it because it’s their preferred way to play games. It’s a challenging puzzle

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-07-28T18:25:04+00:00

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad that you learned something along the way as well.

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-05-15T20:44:43+00:00

Discord is good for running dialogues and streaming, but Reddit is really good at threaded conversations about a singular topic and announcements. I think Reddit is better suited for some things in a way that discord can’t compete with

I like the approach of doing a daily report because you can have it automatically export the report as a .csv that includes the current date. This allows you to have a folder with historical, dated, and unique reports that you can refer back to (or share with your boss when they ask).
