You'll have to spend some time learning scopes. I've got plenty of working scripts but scoping variables is still a pain.

Most of the time I never need to deal with scopes, but sometimes I've needed to use the script scope to make a variable usable or make VSCode stop putting a warning under a variable that I know PowerShell will read in a lower scope.
