PowerShell MVP builds an AI-driven lab that turns ideas into runnable, validated scripts daily
dfinke · x · 2026-09-19
PowerShell MVP Doug Finke launched "PowerShell Idea Lab": an AI-driven pipeline that each day finds a small idea, reframes it as a prompt, generates commented PowerShell code, runs it in an isolated environment, validates the output, and publishes the proof.
- The loop is idea → prompt → solution → run, with verified labs already live: data transfer time estimation, Excel pivot workbook, event sessionization, a configuration precedence resolver, a balanced work-queue allocator, and more.
- The author demonstrated the Configuration Precedence Resolver running locally out of the box — "AI stops talking and starts shipping."
- Every lab publishes its prompt so readers can copy and reproduce the experiment.
