    ls is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

Haha, yeah we probably should have added a caveat that this is only applicable to Unix

I assumed so, but then I got curious what would happen in a DOS window.

Thankfully it works in Powershell on Windows. I lost any muscle memory for `dir` a long long time ago.

Until you hit something like "Get-ChildItem : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'lh'" and are jarringly reminded that this is not your old friend `ls` after all.

This is why, if I use a shorthand in PowerShell at all, I avoid using "dir", "ls", and the like. "gci" is at least not like any common Unix/BSD/PC-DOS/Windows/OS/2 command.
