Sam Erde

@horizon_secured I’ll be speaking with @merill at the Hybrid Identity Protection conference this September!

@SamErde Thank you Sam! I am for sure doing that. Hope to meet you soon at some conference, are you visiting any this year?

@nickchapsas Only slightly worse than “number of commits!” 😂

Code coverage alone is a stupid metric

@merill Thanks for the great conversation and for creating Maester, @merill! Happy to be a part of this community and the project.

New Entra Chat episode is out! AI agents are being created across your tenant... But who is checking if they are configured securely? In this episode, @SamErde and I dig into the Maester 2.1 release 1/2

@kanjibates @NathanMcNulty @claudeai Ha! That’s perfect.

@SamErde @NathanMcNulty @claudeai The closing note I left on a PR just last week 😂

Was on a call with @NathanMcNulty where I heard a phrase for the 1st time ever: "the juice probably isn't worth the squeeze." 🍊 Nice metaphor! @ClaudeAI used the same exact phrase in a chat right after that. 🤔 Is this an old saying that I'm just hearing for the first time?

#PowerShell 7.7-preview 1 is out and the list of improvements is already off to a great start! github.com/PowerShell/Pow…

@N805DN @NathanMcNulty @claudeai Don’t know, but gonna use it now! 😀

@SamErde @NathanMcNulty @claudeai How have you never heard this phrase before!?!?

@georgemcintosh @github I was REALLY scared for a moment that I toasted a repo. 😅

@SamErde @github Yup githubstatus.com

🚨 Is @GitHub down for anyone else? By "down," I mean "not showing any PRs or issues." 🫣

B-b-b-but....? <Sigh> Fine, I'll do it!

@acolombiadev Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely make use of git history.

🥇 New Main Branch is live! Git 2.54 shipped git history - finally clean up your AI-generated commit mess without interactive rebase scaries. Plus git switch/restore exist for a reason. Cut through the purple noise with commands that actually work. mainbranch.beehiiv.com/p/the-one-wher…

@phantomofearth 😂

Absolutely amazing "vertical" taskbar.

@NathanMcNulty Why DOA? The crazy cost?

Dead on arrival

@NathanMcNulty 100% agree.

Just putting it out there - but GitHub has crushed it with Copilot without a CEO while Microsoft has tried to shove Copilot into everything it shouldn't be in Sure, maybe GitHub could benefit from a CEO, but you can't rule out the possibility they could make it worse 🤷‍♂️

@SamErde Learning to maximize AI output so they can rehire you at 40% less with zero benefits. Riveting.

Keeping up with the pace of change in AI-supplemented development is beginning to feel like the shift from on-premises datacenter engineering to IaaS/PaaS engineering skillsets. Learning to maximize high-quality results is very valuable but cuts into existing learning time. 📈

@DebugPrivilege Pizza boxes and blades of glory!

@SamErde We still have “servers” ?

@Jorge2990 Epic. 🍅

>mfw when I run “/init” with claude mythos

@DebugPrivilege Yeah, remember the old days of server closets, networking closets, and co-los?! Those were different times!

@SamErde On-Premises?
