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?

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?

If you haven't looked into improving your workflow you're definitely missing out. There are plenty of ways to improve: Software: How do you move around an editor? Are you constantly moving your hand to your mouse and back to your keyboard? There may be a keybind you can use instead. Editors like vim or emacs are the apex of this, where you can easily edit files without using a mouse once. Hardware: How many hours have you spent typing on a keyboard? RSI is a real injury people get, if you use a keyboard daily for hours, you should look into more ergonomic layouts (e.g. Colemak, Dvorak, etc) or even a more ergonomic keyboard. While a lot of these methods will see you immediately lose productivity, if you stick at it you can regain and even improve your speeds. If you want to read how I made my own split, ergo keyboard then have a look at my blog post. =D https://ed-thomas.dev/blog/my-first-custom-keyboard/ https://www.linkedin.com/posts/edthomas87_keyboards-colemak-developertools-activity-7379527711544762369-TNs3

Hi everyone, my name is Akash Patil. I’m a MERN Stack Developer with 2.5+ years of experience. I have a question for everyone — which do you think is harder: software development or DevOps? Or does it just vary from person to person? I’m asking because, during my 2-year web development journey, I never felt that much excitement — until I started learning Docker. I haven’t mastered it yet, but it really caught my attention. Now, I’m seriously considering transitioning into a DevOps role. I’m sure I’ll get some great insights from this amazing community.
