Considering Fox is the only reputable news outlet left, I don't support the negative connotation you imply.

Industrial and Residential Electricity. We learned mainly residential but our instructor wanted us to be prepared for industrial as well. In the end, I was accepted to a small college but didn't want to work a FT job and attend college so I went into the Navy instead, into the AEF (Advanced Electronics Field).

Software obeys its own dynamics. Some things work well. Some not quite the same. It's nice to see someone admitting that testing is good, rigid TDD; like rigid Agile or rigid Waterfall, are bad. Corollary, what our parents said still holds true; too much of a good thing is bad.

When I was in High School, I went to 2 years of Vocational School at the same time and took advanced studies for college so I'd have something to fall back on one way or the other.

Agree, use it often too and a good alternative I also use often is: https://git-for-windows.github.io/

It gives you a Bash shell with hundreds of useful utilities you used to get only in Cygwin.

Though the most complete is the new Windows Ubuntu system.

"Walmart employs an astounding 2.1 million people. In the United States alone, the company employs 1.4 million people. This is a staggering 1% of the U.S.'s 140 million working population."
