Execution Policy Isn’t Security Theater — It’s a Teaching Trap

·1 views

Call Execution Policy “security theater” and you get nods in every PowerShell thread. Call it a teaching trap and you get closer to why juniors keep getting stuck—and why seniors keep giving advice that accidentally makes the stuckness worse.
