Toolmaking Toolmaking
At first glance, you might think I made a mistake with the title of today's article. But I didn't. I want to continue sharing my process in building an archive searching or summary solution for this newsletter. I expect that when I am finished I will have a set of PowerShell scripts or functions that I can use to generate the archive summary. However, I am finding that I need tools to help me build my tools.
This is not that unusual. A carpenter needs a hammer to build a house. A developer needs a text editor to write code. Someone has to create those tools. Typically, a carpenter doesn't make their own hammer. But PowerShell professionals can certainly create the tools they need to make their tools.
I thought I'd share my toolmaking toolmaking experiences with this project.
