Both just had TODO comments saying what they should test. We’d already migrated the working tests to Pester 5.x format. The old homegrown PowerShell scripts worked fine - they just weren’t using a framework. Now we needed to implement these missing tests using the same Pester patterns. Provisioners: One Monolith, Five Tests The examples/provisioners/ directory had one massive Vagrantfile testing shell, file, ansible, chef, and salt provisioners all at once. To test them individually, we needed to split them up. ...

How I went from an overengineered Docker + Tilt.dev setup to just running Hugo directly, and why sometimes simpler is better.

This turned out to be more challenging than expected, but the journey taught me a lot about WSL2’s internals, systemd initialization, and multi-distribution package management. In this post, I’ll walk through the development process, the challenges we faced, and how we solved them to get Docker running on 8 different Linux distributions in WSL2 through Vagrant. ...
