When I became an DevOps-Engineer, I was worried about all the technologies I had to learn and if I could pick them up fast enough.
Little did I know, that the hardest part would be communication and requirements. In that order.

There are not a lot of songs that I can hear on repeat without getting bored. When Doves Cry is one of them.

This tutorial is a good example on how to make it as hard as possible for everyone to install your platform for local development.

It's out of date and too complicated.

Tom Waits - "Starving In The Belly Of A Whale"

I love this one, it pairs realism with hope.

Life is whittled
Life's a riddle

@nixCraft Yeah, it's great but the slope of it's learning curve is that of Mount Everest. Nowadays a lot of people climb it but it's not for everyone :-D

There are so many opinions out there from influencers of all sorts, on how your IT-Infrastructure is supposed to look like, and which technologies you should use.

Is it cloud, serverless or good old server farm? EKS, Tanzu or self hosted?

Sometimes it feels like, those engineers are just talking about topics that get the most attention ... like the rest of the internet.

It's up to you to decide what you can afford and what works for you. They are of no help, much to the contrary.
