I've never been a fan of showing people how to do this -- they can figure it out if they need. I'd like to create a new policy that all Examples must be secure.

I will be enforcing a new policy that all Examples must be secure.
I've never been a fan of showing people how to use ConvertTo-SecureString because it's basically suggesting it's okay to type out a plain-text password at the console. If people need it for CI/CD, they can figure it out how to do it securely on other blog sites. Maybe I'll do a dbatools specific guide at some point.
Anyway, this Twitter thread is pure pain.
