Did you ever read this post before? It wasn’t about PowerShell so much, as it was about taking our efficiencies in automation and using them in regular life, too.

Do you know how every version 1.0.0, is nothing more than a place holder for the first version to come after it? You know… 1.0.1, or 1.1.0, or maybe even 2.0.0. If you read that post, then you may remember these photos.

Its design was far from perfect. The diameter of the hose (used to remove dirty water from the pool filter) is 2″. It’s the exact same diameter as the entire piece of white pipe I found at The Home Depot. I looked and looked everywhere and I finally found something better! This had a smaller diameter pipe where the hose would attach while still being 2″ and threaded at the other end. The problem was (as you can likely imagine), that the hose could barely handle being wrapped around that 2″ end. It was unbelievably difficult to attach and it never took long for the hose to begin splitting and eventually failing. Enter, version 2.0.0.

Like any automation before it (in the actual automation world), I haven’t looked back. Here’s the newest backwash hose for my pool. It’s made life much easier! New ideas, improvements, and proper implementations tend to do that. Don’t worry, we’ll get back to discussing PowerShell soon, but just in case someone read the previous piece and would appreciate the follow-up, then here you go.
