Dear KubeCrafters, Happy New Year! Let’s make 2026 the year you land that job. One of my students did it yesterday. No CS degree. No DevOps experience. Just the right skills at the right time. Full post attached to this post! ​ 2026 is going to be one of the most interesting years in tech so far. AI is booming, and I’m being asked for contracts I don’t have time to take. Instead, I focus on helping people achieve the same result: making multiple six-figures a year and not needing to apply for jobs anymore. For the past 2 months I’ve been spending an outrageous amount of time researching the current DevOps market. I know exactly what’s going on, what trends are booming, and which tools are going to crush it this year. I compiled this into a complete game plan for landing DevOps jobs in 2026. And I’m going to give it to you for free. I’m presenting this complete game plan during an exclusive live event on January 14th. There are only 100 spots available for this FREE event, and as a member of this community you’re the first to know about it. I have a few extra gifts to give away at this event too. You don’t want to miss this. ​>>> Click here to reserve your right now <<<​ ​ See you there! Mischa ​ P.S. If you can’t make it on that day or time, register anyway. I’ll send the recordings after the event. CLICK HERE to claim your spot before they run out!

Sunday, Dec 28 05:30:09 AM CET 2025 2025 has gone by so fast. It was the first year where I had 0 income from being an employee. All of the money I’ve made in 2025 has come from my own businesses, and it feels amazing. And I want as many people as possible to experience the same. This will be my guiding light for the next year. In this newsletter I will share my plans for what is coming, and I think you will like it. I’m going to help a lot of people for free. Autonomy Many of you have heard me talk about the importance of autonomy in my recent video called “Why I Refuse to Use Windows”. That video has received 85.000 views at the time of writing of this email. Eighty five thousand people have spent a few minutes watching me talk about Linux and the importance of autonomy in life. Some of those people watched the video from beginning to end. And they commented. These comments have had a profound effect on me. You see, when I made this video, I had no expectation that this would get so much attention. I had no idea that it would resonate on a deep level with so many people. In that video I wanted to do something different from what I’ve been doing so far. I wanted to share more of the WHY behind everything that I do. The results surprised me. The comments I received on this video were of a completely different nature. People sharing their stories and expressing their deep appreciation for what I was teaching them. Several people made the commitment to become a DevOps engineer and joined KubeCraft after watching that video. It became clear to me that I had more to give to the world than Kubernetes tutorials. The Sovereign Craftsman On January 1st 2025 my YouTube channel had 32.000 subscribers. As I write this, I have 72.000 subscribers. That means I have more than doubled my subs, and I’m getting close to 100K subscribers. When I combine the counts from all platforms, I now have 115.000 followers.
