That feeling when you’re a PS n00b but you run your first script in production

It was a bit gut-wrenching. But it worked!

I wrote a backup script to automate a process I’ve been doing manually for way too long. Built it at home, tested it in my home lab, figured out the game plan to make it usable at work. Well, it worked! I got a bit anxious when I clicked “Enter” to run it, wondering if I was going to crippled our entire infrastructure, but soon found out that I was in the clear!

(Besides a file getting flagged as potentially malicious, but that wasn’t the script’s fault.)
