Thank you for sharing this definitely lifts my motivation . At times I would look at job description it is like 5years in CI/CD , AWS certified , 5years of professional experience...etc and job role is for "Entry level" ..just makes no sense at all.
Is it me or i feel that in the last years with the new shiny names on various job roles like at first "Dev Ops" and now "Site Reliability Engineer" its just that companies want their new candidate to do everything in a value for money salary?! It sounds more like be our programmer, be our network guy and be our System Administrator.
I struggle to find a devops job with 10y of the relevant experience in the industry, work authorization, certifications, experience in well known companies. Good luck.
Thank you for sharing your views and experiences. As someone like me who is trying to get into devops by learning it on my own it is very reassuring to know how you got to where you have.
Love the fun insight these podcasts/interviews provide! I find it super entertaining and informative as a recent graduate and full timer in the "DevOps" industry.
had to pause at around 25:37. hit me in the feels. Just like being able to step back and realize it's fine to feel kinda lost. I was having a major issue using Neomutt(basically a curses terminal email program) and it was just a simple configuration file but I was kinda overworking myself and thought it was some deep serious issue with my actual smtp mail server on debian.. There's a weird balance of good stress vs unhealthy stress. like light a fire under ur butt, getting it done, synthwave/techno blasting, boss mode vs yelling silently at a weird /etc/ config that keeps changing. really enjoying these interviews, your videos have definitely been in my top 3 of most helpful. tl;dr: It's okay Fren. remember to walk, look at sunshine, pet doge. screaming quietly is never the answer.
Thank you once again. Just felt like I was there with you guys and having a chat in mind. 😅 Felt more ambitious suddenly for some reason. I like your videos and content related to DevOps overall
21:53 The first time it happened to me I was completely stumped so I left early. The office was close to a movie theater. So I crossed the road and saw that there was something interesting so I went in. Halfway through the movie, I had an "Aha!" moment so I left the movie, got back to the office and wrote a bit of code... Tested and I had come up with the solution when I wasn't even trying anymore.
Loved the video .. thanks for this.. P.S Even I feel all this abstraction of layers built to make things easier for us is actually kinda putting lot of us in a position where we don't know how it works under the hood and in the future those are the roles which might be in deman imho .. Thanks again I've always enjoyed watching your videos!!
I love HashiCorp products and I use them regularly. That's one place I would like to work. My current role is Systems Engineer on paper but my work is mostly is hybrid of SRE and DevOps. I was asking about level of Go needed for SRE role. I have experience with Python as I extended Openstack API to integrate with our disparate systems (LDAP/Kerberos authentication systems), however, I have not done anything concrete with Go. I asked one of HashiCorp SREs and he did not really reply to my question. I'm proactive as I enjoy learning and updating my skills. Also, can you let this lady know that you guys have a bug in your Azure API in Terraform implementation. When you assign security groups (NSGs) to subnets while creating a vnet (azurerm_virtual_network), only the first one works. It throws an error if you assign a security group to any other subnet. I had to resolve it by manually assigning NSGs to the remaining subnets in my VNET.
I'd start by making programming my main focus, and really get good at the computer science fundamentals. Then I'd add some infrastructure/cloud knowledge by playing with free accounts on those platforms and using terraform to manage stuff. Then I'd pick the currently "Hot" area of tech that matches my interests and background knowledge (security, infrastructure, web development, data science; whatever) and do some targeted learning to be able to start applying to jobs. Meanwhile I'd work whatever programming-related job I could find, while taking it easy enough that I could spend my free time learning. Maybe I'll think a bit harder about it and do a video.
When white people tell their tech backstories it always sounds like an episode of Sesame Street where Elmo is given a big bag of money at the end of a 20 minute show for singing the alphabet. When minorities tell their tech backstories there is so much struggle, strife and unfair treatment in it, that they always sound like they just survived the first Annual Hunger games.
Yeah, I'm sure it was a completely different game 20 years ago if you were brown or visibly female. That said, I doubt it was easy to get in as a woman when Erin started. I suspect she's been the only woman on the vast majority of teams that she's been on, and suffer for it. I think that things (at least from my perspective in the industry) have thankfully gotten much more diverse over the last 15 years -- DEFINITELY on the software dev side, and a-bit-but-not-enough on the Linux/Infra engineering side.
I love that you didn’t edit the ‘I will edit this out’ parts. really refreshing video!
This is amazing. She went from social media/office job to SRE

Yeah, avoid those companies. Tons of jobs out there to apply to!

Facebook calls it ‘Production Engineer’. I interviewed couple of times for that position.
🤦🏻
I'm showing this to my wife and she is also into social media marketing, guess what, she is starting to learn DevOps 😃
I showed your comment to my wife 👰😅 and she wants to get into devops now 🤓

exactly where i am right now as realising my current role no longer exist in the market...

SRE's are some of the hardest working humans
Thank you so much for this! I needed to see this video!

First time seeing this. this was fun and enlightening. Thank you. You also made it fun.
Being a jack of all trades 😊

Man "Code divers" actually sounds really interesting, I love the concept. Did you ever upload or publish that anywhere?
Where is the interview? It’s a podcast
Amazing interview!
This is the kind of people I want to work with!
Great insight.
7:20 "I tracked the IP address using visual basic" 💀 😭 this dude is really funny to watch 20:38
@36:00: The joy of debugging ingresses and as to why traffic wont get routed properly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you should split the screen when doing this kinda video.
Hi if you have a chance today to start from the zero in tech what you will choose now with all your experience ?
I'd start by making programming my main focus, and really get good at the computer science fundamentals. Then I'd add some infrastructure/cloud knowledge by playing with free accounts on those platforms and using terraform to manage stuff. Then I'd pick the currently "Hot" area of tech that matches my interests and background knowledge (security, infrastructure, web development, data science; whatever) and do some targeted learning to be able to start applying to jobs.

Good stuff
Whats her name?
Hey look, two of my favs in one place and I don't have to tell either of you to go work on any tickets 😆
great actors
ikr can't find her linkedin

visual basic haha, c# all the way
She's cute!
Girls in tech are so hot!
