  • I started 3d printing during COVID when people started talking about printing masks. I realized quickly that that wasn’t a great idea but I had the printer at that point. Discovered quickly that it’s was fun and useful for all kinds of stuff.
    Printing lead to microcontrollers and minicomputera as I came up with cool stuff to print for neat home automation and various other useful tools.
    This led to having a couple Raspberries kicking around which led me to extensive, self-hosted home automation. That’s my current obsession.
    I’m wondering where this goes next.










  • DevOps is fun and you’ll learn a lot in a short amount of time. You will have to learn a bunch of stuff about automation, how different technologies are built and deployed, source control, etc. It’s a steep learning curve but awesome if you’re up to the challenge. It is never boring. I’ve been working on DevOps processes since before it was called DevOps. I’ve always been happy to be in this sector. Keep in mind that there is no set definition for DevOps. Some purists will argue what I do, setting up the tools and automation then let the devs do their thing, is not DevOps. They might believe that DevOps means developers set everything up and support everything. Of course, that doesn’t scale. Other companies just rebrand build engineers as DevOps. That’s about the most boring thing I can think of, besides QA. :-) Good luck!
