PSFramework: The tools for your tools with Fred Weinmann

Fred Weinmann is back, and this time, he's walking us through the PowerShell Framework Collective — his personal answer to the age-old problem of building the tools that build the tools. The core idea is simple but powerful: If you invest in the scaffolding around your code, the actual code you write gets faster, cleaner, and more consistent every time. Fred breaks down four key wins from his framework stack, including PSModuleDevelopment for templating new projects, PSUtil for leveling up your console experience, PSReadLine for predictive history, and PSFramework itself for things like logging, configuration, parameter handling, and protected command execution. If you've ever spent more time wiring up logging and retry logic than solving the actual problem, this episode is going to feel very familiar — and very useful.
