We get a first-draft transcript made through rev.com, then manually editorialize and format to make it easier to follow for folks who prefer to read.

The player itself is built with video.js which, when combined with the ttml format for the final transcript, allows us to provide that click-to-time interactivity.

There's no publication date on the episode page. Right now it's only available through a `meta property="article:published_time"` in the page source, or by finding the episode in the series list. This makes it difficult to cite.

EDIT: I just incorporated this quote into the PowerShell article. The transcript differs a bit, so you might want to update it. Notable differences are the transcript's "would turn structured data" and the omission of mention of awk, grep, and sed. (Presumably, the latter sounded like unintelligible false starts to the stenographer, who just cut it entirely.)

Here's the quote:

> I'd been driving a bunch of managing changes, and then I originally took the UNIX tools and made them available on Windows, and then it just didn't work. Because there's a core architectural difference between Windows and Linux. On Linux, everything's an ASCII text file, so anything that can manipulate that is a managing tool. AWK, grep, sed? Happy days. I brought those tools available on Windows, and then they didn't help manage Windows because in Windows, everything's an API that returns structured data. So, that didn't help. [...] I came up with this idea of PowerShell, and I said, "Hey, we can do this better."

EDIT 2: The references to "PEARL" are all a little weird, too.

Thanks for this, I've updated the transcript.

I have a habit of highlighting as I read. When I highlight text on this page, it seeks to a section of the podcast, even if I haven't hit play.

Perhaps it would be possible to only seek on click, not selection.

I have that habit as well. I'm not sure if this level of control is possible with video.js, but I'll take a look. Disabling click-to-time until the play button has been clicked might also be an option. Thanks for listening/reading

Thanks for this, I much prefer reading to videos/audio, and it seems a lot more content is moving to that medium only.
