You shouldn't read Azure for Developers from the couch.
Laptop open, terminal ready, because that's exactly what this book asks of you.

Another year, another certification renewal. I haven't actively done any device management work for at least 3 years, but what can I say - I guess I'm still retaining some knowledge!!

His mistake was using "for" in the name. Everything else seems fine.
Before #Intune policies or MDM check-ins, there was... a patent.
Filed in 2005. Quietly shaping how every #Windows device still checks in today.
We dug up the origin story, and it’s a wild, nerdy ride ➡️ https://bit.ly/3Leefl5

🚨If your #PowerShell CI/CD pipelines are failing, it's probably not because they're broken. Many GitHub workflows use Install-Module and the PowerShell Gallery is currently impacted by the Azure Front Door outage.
🎛️PowerShell gallery Status Page:
I tried to login last week and couldn't and now I can't even load it. The PS Gallery is cursed for me.
Finding out about the #azure outage because a pipeline keeps failing due to the #PowerShell gallery being down says a lot about me I guess...
Time to use @posh.guru alternate mirror in production?
DNS sure is a harsh mistress.

Going through some life altering changes in my life. Spending a weekend by myself in Copenhagen. Making plans for the future.
Things are weird. But coffee helps.
F**k it, going back to basic(s)
Oh no, say it ain't so... I have to use #PowerShell now?

Hell yeah brother! Welcome to the cult.
Deploy a private key & sshd config to the container to disable interactive Auth and only use key-based auth???
Wake up, babe - new Powers Hell merch just dropped.

For those who don't like clicking links
- expression variables ${{ variables.var }} process at compile, BEFORE runtime
- macro syntax $(var) process at runtime BEFORE tasks
- runtime expressions $[variables.var] also process at runtime BEFORE tasks but are meant for conditional expressions.
This is actually just a standard REST call that you can make and can be done in any terminal / VSCode instance as long as you know how to form the request URI
Also, whilst troubleshooting complex pipeline templates that compile differently based on variable / parameter values, never forget that the "Download full YAML" option exists. It performs the "compile" step for you, allowing you to debug without actually committing changes or running the pipeline.
Yeah it was fine, I was just sitting there wondering what on earth was causing half my tasks to not compile... Didn't use expression variables.. what an idiot!
