Ask HN: Do You Prefer Powershell?
I use pwsh on all platforms. All automation is done with it, and in many cases web app functionality depends on it running in background all the time (for large public services).
Even our GitLab runner uses pwsh.
To organizse build/scripts we use Invoke-Build, a cross-platform task runner: https://github.com/nightroman/Invoke-Build

Achieving single command Infrastructure deployment using PowerShell DSC.
So I need to take a step back and Start-DscConfiguration won't be my entry point to deployment. I need a .ps1 script that installs modules. Or, bear with me, I'll be using a PowerShell build tool: Invoke-Build.

Module workflow in VS Code?
I discovered the Invoke-Build build system, PSScriptAnalyzer for linting, and Pester for testing/mocking. I wrote a GitLab CI/CD pipeline that takes advantage of all of this to push releases to our company's PSRepo. I also discovered the Plaster template system for scaffolding new projects, and created a custom company template for standardizing our repo structures.

You may use other tools too: psake, make, cake, fake or any other *ake you are familiar with. I look at them as a tools that make build tasks behind simple commands and help me answer: How did I run that code again?

.NET build tool using Bullseye and SimpleExec
NAnt was quite a popular build tool used by projects of all sizes targeting .NET Framework on Windows. I have written many complex build systems using NAnt in the past. But XML based DSL was quite clunky to use and maintain. Besides, it was always a daunting task to explain to a new dev on the team. With .NET Core/.NET becoming a cross-platform framework, CAKE and FAKE gained a lot of adoption providing a C# and F# based DSL for build tasks accordingly.
