Open Up The Cloud retweeted
Cloud vendors will have education content and learning paths, so why is there a need for independent content creators like me to bother?
We need someone not drinking the company Kool-Aid.
We need training not editorialized by product marketers.
We need real-world and practical instructions.
We need mix-and-match best-in-class services.
Otherwise, who's going to teach you how to run your primary workload on AWS while using Azure Microsoft Entra for identity management and GCP Big Query as your Dataware house?
Best-in-class only works if you can go across the cloud and not stay in a silo.
Musing on what YouTube video topic to do next. I want to do more about platform engineering, Kubernetes or Microservices... is there anything in those topics that interests you? What are you working on?
AND WE BACK BABYYY! It's been some time, for sure, but we are back on YouTube. Wanna learn Kubernetes? Into AWS? Here's a way to get up and running on AWS with Kubernetes and Terraform. Check it out 👇

It's critical that when you are getting into tech that you build and carve out a path for yourself. You simply cannot be looking over your shoulder 24/7 and getting distracted. If you keep going, keep pushing in one direction you WILL be successful.
It's a matter of time.
How long to land a job in tech? Days, weeks or months is hard to give an answer to... I'd say around 10-20hrs of intense learning for ~a year is in the rough ballpark.
Could you that into 3 months? Maybe? Could you get lucky? Sure. Could it take WAY longer? Absolutely.
One thing is for absolute sure though, if you're not putting your butt down in your seat on a regular basis and doing DEEP learning, e.g. fingers on keyboard, producing output, you're simply not going to progress.
"The elephant in the room is how I didn't publish anything since July. My company was restructured, and my workload exploded. Something in my life simply had to give. For a few months, that was Open Up The Cloud...".
My 2023 summary is published!
Here are a couple excerpts...
"I do have receipts for all that hard work. I wrote two blogs I’m proud of, about 'how Internal developer portals aren’t a silver bullet for platform engineering' and 'how to successfully adopt a developer tool'. "
