PowerShell creator Jeffrey Snover at Ignite: AI revolution is an extinction event for those who don't adapt
dfinke · x · 2026-11-12
Jeffrey Snover, creator of PowerShell, will deliver talk BRK557 at Microsoft Ignite, arguing this is not an incremental tech cycle but a fundamental shift in the industry's physics. Bolting Copilot onto yesterday's workflows isn't adaptation—he says the AI revolution will accelerate careers of adapters and cause an 'extinction event' for those clinging to the past, urging engineers to rethink how work gets done and what AI can do autonomously.
