If you're writing PowerShell one-liners or scripts and find yourself often having to modify them for different scenarios, there's a good chance that it's a good candidate to be turned into a function that can be reused.
Whenever possible, I prefer to write functions because they are more tool oriented. I can put the functions in a script module, put that module in the $env:PSModulePath, and call the functions without needing to physically locate where they're saved. Using the PowerShellGet module, it's easy to share those modules in a NuGet repository. PowerShellGet ships with PowerShell version 5.0 and higher. It is available as a separate download for PowerShell version 3.0 and higher.
Don't over complicate things. Keep it simple and use the most straight forward way to accomplish a task. Avoid aliases and positional parameters in any code that you reuse. Format your code for readability. Don't hardcode values; use parameters and variables. Don't write unnecessary code even if it doesn't hurt anything. It adds unnecessary complexity. Attention to detail goes a long way when writing any PowerShell code.
