I’m definitely doing better than my parents. But they were horrible with money so it’s not like it was a high bar.

General Grant was not an alcoholic. He drank missing his wife. He never drank while in battle. That’s one of many slanders of the Lost Cause that victimizes the South as well as proposes the South to be superior in many aspects.

Grant was by far the better general. While Lee fought a mostly defensive Virginia campaign, Grant was out completing the North’s military objectives in aggressive, modern strategies. His rally and subsequent victory at Shiloh, despite his mistakes. His Vicksburg Campaign that is still studied to this day. Grant’s ability to fight the war that Lee could not win when Grant finally took over the army of the Potomac and hounded Lee, when previous generals would turn, until he had nothing but a ragged army.

I mean that’s disingenuous statement. It’s Clearly built to emulate the drop off/pick ups of airports. Clearly you’ve never been to elementary schools in the morning and afternoon where there’s lines of cars for parents dropping off their kids and numerous buses doing the same on the other side of the building.

It’s clear no one is going to walk to this school. So the kids have to be dropped off by car or bus. To move traffic off of the main road and provide parents with as fast and as safe drop off/pick up as possible, there is a large 4 lane road to keep traffic moving.

This isn’t egregious use of land and roads when it fits the actual demographic - parents who want to transport their kids themselves.

I have an AWS DevOps Pro cert. The test very much focuses on DevOps using AWS services. If you plan on going DevOps in AWS it is certainly worthwhile in lieu of experience.

However, they are not easy certs and you have to renew every 3 years. Dip your toes in the practitioner cert for a basic understanding of AWS services, the Developer cert to have an idea of how AWS connects services together for development purposes, and the DevOps pro for solutions architecting for DevOps in AWS.

For something less AWS-centric, look into getting Hashicorp Terraform certifications. Lots of IaC uses Terraform and that’s a cloud-agnostic tool you should definitely highlight as a skill set if you plan on doing DevOps.
