    Tinker, play, break, fix. Start with docker, a couple virtual machines, use the terminal, even switch to linux. Start automating/scripting mundane or repetitive tasks. For me, this is fun, I actually enjoy the work I do. I have a homelab, a few mini-pcs that I play with, and that I’m not afraid to break. I use ansible and terraform to manage them. Completely overkill for just a few apps and services I run for me and my family, but that’s how I learned a bunch of things.

    Getting a job in devops might need a few years of experience as either a sysadmin or a developer, but it’s in high demand.

    Started as a tech at a computer shop back in uni, doing diagnostics and assembly for custom PC builds. After I got my bachelor, I started as an IT guy in a factory, and for the next ~20 years worked as a sys admin at a bunch of different companies. Over the last 5 years or so I moved more and more towards Linux, automation, IaC, ansible, docker, k8s, terraform… and now I work as a devops engineer. I work for a small company, so I double as a backup sysadmin/user support guy, because I’m the one that “knows what active directory even is”. 🤷

    Looking at your repos, it seems like “fork” is your favorite term, since you’ve mastered the art of taking other people’s work and making it mildly less impressive. Setting up Keychron settings? Wow, groundbreaking stuff. Your “Rimworld mod” could hardly bluff its way to quality of life improvements if it tried. And a “pure Unix shell script”? Sounds like the most exciting way to put people to sleep since counting sheep.
