PowerShell Inventor Jeffrey Snover Interview
The Californer/10199527

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- We had a great talk with Jeffrey Snover, Microsoft Technical Fellow, and CTO for Modern Workforce Transformation. Snover is the inventor of Windows PowerShell, an object-based distributed automation engine, scripting language, and command-line shell.

The Interview

Evrone: For more than 15 years PowerShell has helped to automate routine processes and to perform tasks on local and remote systems. We can link the Monad Manifesto document with a «Chicken or the egg» dilemma. Did the document become the starting point for PowerShell development or was it just a reflection of principles at the already created system?

Jeffrey: PowerShell was a journey that had three distinct 'points of clarity'. The first came with the unique design of a command line tool called WMIC. I designed it specifically to get around some crazy internal product-prevention processes at Microsoft. It was a pipeline processor of XML documents with XSLT transforms. That architecture allowed me to add an incredible amount of power with little effort. I looked at that and said, "wow".
