It's crazy that someone can go through college for comp sci and never touch things like VSC or PuTTY until they're in the workforce.
Meanwhile a programming boot camp or IT Security Analyst boot camp will have you digging into the tools of the trade immediately.
Heh yeah. Lots of fresh grads don't even really know anything about application development. Like they have a handful of sorting algorithms memorised and can explain what a compiler does (and are thinking about writing one some day) but can't actually build anything.
Often, they can pick it up quickly, whatever the "it" is... But it doesn't give them that much of a head start compared to someone who did a shorter program or self-taught.
I've never used PuTTY either, tbh... Is that just what Windows users use for SSH stuff?
