The PowerShell Podcast

PowerShell Universal and the Joy of Building with Adriano Carollo


Listen Later

In this episode, Andrew chats with Adriano Carollo at PSConfEU about community, PowerShell Universal, AI, and what happens when you stop lurking and start talking to people. Adriano shares how PowerShell helped him grow from sysadmin into web apps, automation, and open source-style contribution, while Andrew reflects on learning, AI, and why enthusiasm still matters.  

Key Takeaways: 

· Community accelerates growth. Adriano came to PSConfEU after hearing Andrew encourage listeners to engage, and the payoff was immediate. 
· PowerShell Universal can open unexpected doors. Adriano describes using it daily to learn web development concepts like JavaScript, HTML, and React through PowerShell. 
· AI is most useful when it supports learning instead of replacing it. Both Andrew and Adriano talk about using AI for research, syntax help, documentation, and personal workflows while still valuing hands-on problem solving. 

Guest Bio: 

Adriano Carollo is a Berlin-based system administrator and PowerShell enthusiast who uses PowerShell Universal daily. He is active in the PowerShell Universal Discord community and is exploring automation, web apps, self-hosting, and entrepreneurship.
