We all got exposure to DevOps at some point. Some as software engineers, some as sysadmins, and some from completely non-technical backgrounds. I share the story of how I went from nurse to DevOps in the DevOps Blueprint in the Classroom, Image #2 has something to do with it. Do you know what it is? But I want to hear your story. At what point did you decide that DevOps is the thing you want to pursue?

I'd would love to see what kind of homelabs have been built by this community, whether bare-metal or virtualized! What is your hardware stack? What is your software stack? Got any pictures? What about Git repos?

Im a final year uni student, and am currently having to balance a lot of different work. Does anyone have a good strategies they can share? I have to do coursework and my diss, but don't want to give up working on my projects. Current tasks: - Find and understand paper for my diss literature review - Finish coursework about using GCP - Start algorithms coursework - Working on homelab - Teaching beginners python once a week - Apply for grad jobs - Go to lectures, make and understand notes - Complete Github foundations cert (free as a student so may as well) - Making more connections on Linkedin - Try and keep running / seeing friends 😭 It should get less busy in 2-4 weeks once coursework is in and grad jobs applications stop but its quite busy now ahahahaha.

This community is still available - for now. We’re adding new resources soon and there's a Q&A sessions tomorrow. But access will stay only for members who show up and contribute. Right now, 75% of members are still “Level 1 – Scallywag.” That tells me most of you are watching, not building. A thriving community isn’t built on silent spectators. It’s built by people who share wins, ask questions, and help others grow. If you’ve learned even one thing here, imagine what happens when you go all in. We built this to help you win, but it starts with participation. So here’s the deal: ✅ Be active, help others, and keep full access. ❌ Stay inactive, and you'll not have access We're building building something great with you, not just only for you. Thank you to everyone already contributing — you’re the reason this works. 🎥 PS: I’ll be live tomorrow at 6 PM to answer your questions and help you move forward. Tomorrow @ 6pm - 7pm Amsterdam time (CEST, UTC+2) equals: - London: 5–6 PM - New York (ET): 12–1 PM - Chicago (CT): 11 AM–12 PM - Denver (MT): 10–11 AM - Los Angeles (PT): 9–10 AM 🔥 Drop a comment below if you’re joining the live Q&A. 👈 Tell us what you’re working on or where you’re stuck so we can help you move forward together. This is your chance to stop lurking and start building proof of your growth. Let’s build this together. — Mischa

Beside learning devops, I had a target to solve at least one or two problems for each type of algorithm and data structure in leetcode to boost my confidence in coding. I am also documenting the thinking approaches of those solutions. So, in future, I can have quick revision while needed. What do you think guys? Am I in the right path?
