Demotivated after failing a coding test
Depending on the position your applying for, you need very different skills. HomeBrew surely took lots of effort to create but the software-engineering side is pretty "boring". Considerations around maintainability, ease-of-use, scalability, etc. OTOH are a big thing which show important, but very different skills.

Im on mac and when I go to the terminal and try to use a apt command it says “The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime that supports apt. Please visit (java website) for more info on installing Java. How do I fix this?
As the other guy said, Homebrew is the package manager for MacOS.
So I guess my first question is... Why are you trying to use aptitude on a Mac? I think you want homebrew

Binary confusion - first steps of a new MacOS user
Check out homebrew (https://brew.sh/); it may feel a bit more familiar coming from the *NIX/*BSD world for application management.

I have what might be a super dumb question, but if you could indulge me...
Oh, then good Sir, you would love Chocolatey. Once installed, it can be used in PowerShell to install and update software programs. If you don't like typing commands, Chocolatey even offers a GUI, but it's a bit janky to use.

Command Palettes: How Typing Commands Became the Norm Again
Nice, thanks! So far I use chocolatey [1]. It is good, although some apps tend to be outdated (I can live with that, for the moment, it is not that worse yet). Will definitely keep in my Package Control.

I'm using VSC and is giving me these errors.
Oh... you didn't install it from the Windows Store did you? Because don't do that, it never works. Just install it from the website or something like Chocolatey.

Doing a clean install of Windows on new SSD, what's the easiest way to reinstall all my programs?
Some here saying Ninite, but I've been using Chocolatey, https://chocolatey.org/. Chocolatey is a community driven package manager, where Ninite is only composed of apps maintained by the internal Ninite team. I found that Ninite lacked a lot of what I needed, even automating things like drivers.
