  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • EditorSyntax

    Syntax highlighting files for editors (VSCode, Atom, SublimeText, TextMate, etc) and GitHub!

    The beginning of the chaos was this commit https://github.com/PowerShell/EditorSyntax/commit/0cf060e9e0095e8e2565a3496d3909067b49fd90 which you'll notice contains no regex changes. It was things like changing the scope of $ from keyword.other.variable.definition.powershell to punctuation.definition.variable.powershell.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • dbatools

    🚀 SQL Server automation and instance migrations have never been safer, faster or freer

    It's very rare I open files that big, but just for fun I took the 1k lines here: https://github.com/sqlcollaborative/dbatools/blob/development/dbatools.psm1 copied and pasted the code 37 times into a .ps1 file and opened it in ISE. ISE opened and highlighted it in like 1-2 seconds so the PS parser is clearly able to parse things quick enough for it to not matter.
