Hello! I'm a C# dev but I use a lot of PowerShell for automating some tasks in my workflow. Nothing too crazy though.
Ha, I'm the opposite. I use PowerShell for the vast majority of my job, but will jump into (aka hack my way through) C# in the instances where I can't use PowerShell. Although 90% of my C# is just making PowerShell modules, so I can continue to use PowerShell for everything. (I may have a PowerShell problem.)
Also a C# developer and I adore PowerShell because it's so intuitive after all my time in the .NET ecosystem. Things just work how I would expect them to, and if I need a particular utility I know I can always fallback on the built-in libraries.
