I'm a four year DevOps engineer, from my experience 1. "Works fine in my local" 2. "Network/DevOps issue" 3. Deployments off hours 4. Some developer makes a shitty code change, but DevOps will identify and fix it 5. Work life balance is a myth 6. We don't have the luxury to spend hours on learning and understanding something, always in a rush
@LuqmanHakim-cc2pb
As a DevOps engineer for about below 2 years: 1. 9am-6pm = support dev team if the test server access is down/they need logs/monitor servers. sometimes do nothing :) 2. hotfixes/minor/major deployment = anytime above 11pm 3. server critical issues = need to attend immediately even if you in a car traveling on a long distance :( 4. team want to improvise server/network architecture = HUGE planning!!! Welcome to DevOps :D

Hi Will.. that is the best description of the tech today. When I started in tech(about 35 years ago) we didn't have all this crazy needs to know, or at least get an idea what it was, about all those things. You could concentrate in know very well a programming language, a bit of OS maintenance and choose one database. From the last 15 years(maybe more) all those new programming languages, script languages, databases, OSs became almost a have to know to survive and be employable. It is exhausting because after 8 to 12 hours working we still need another at least 6 hours to understand something else and if you have family and kids it will be a bit complicated. Also sometimes(happened to me 3 times) we have to work with some "developers" that don't have life after work that keep trying every technology and suggest to be used and sometimes some managers find that great. The other problem I see in this situation is when you are at senior level for some weird reason the managers think because you are senior you can learn fast and some techs needs some time to be learned. That is why , at least where I am, we find a lot bad applications because the developer didn't have time to learn properly. If I had a glimpse of that when I started I certainly would choose another profession. Thanks Will for your video and all the best for anyone jumping in this crazy adventure.

Love the summary/trailer format! I'm a junior software developer now (just started, was self taught for 1 year) and working in Dev Ops is my goal. Also started working on a Github plugin because it is a lot more fun. Definitely agree with the fact you never stop learning!
@marcsteele8368
My experience on the ops side was that losing out one birthdays, holidays, family events, etc was more common that you hoped. I snapped when a dev tried to be “helpful” and work a public holiday in a previous job, dragging me into a mess that day. You’ll also lose out on freedom (gotta stay in phone coverage and able to respond in 15 minutes) and a social life in general if you’re not careful. I now work more on the dev side but it’s fascinating to see how task switching, long feedback cycles (those Ansible / Helm charts / Terraform deploys take time) and a lack of consistent dopamine hits from getting tickets over the line break devs going the other way. Sprint velocity metrics might as well be random number generators in the DevOps world.

Once more an amazing video. I’m 30 and I’m Jr. DevOps for a company using Azure DevOps exclusively. I am so overwhelmed by the knowledge you should have to handle the full stack successfully. At the moment I’m just messing with some repos (application properties tweaking) and CI/CD. I am so afraid though to build something from scratch and play with kubernetes extensively. Sir please let me know, is it better to learn something in-depth and then move on to another one and finally be able to build something serious, or use battleready material from public repos (public helm charts for example) and try to “build” things in order to see the result and then learn how to edit and play with it? Thank you in advance and excuse my agitation.

I'm in my mid-40s and have taken a drawn-out and strained career path, which has painted me into a corner, resulting in a professional slump and several years of complacency. I'm wanting to make a shift and find interest in my work again; reignite that passion for tech that used to burn strongly. My official title is 'SharePoint Admin', but my duties are more as a team lead for our team of devs and as a sort of BA/PM between them and the customers, so I feel like DevOps should be a logical progression, but it is very overwhelming to see/hear about the depth of knowledge I'm lacking and need to accumulate to fill this role...
@dorothyglade9087
Great video! On point! From the perspective of a DevOps engineer, this is completely accurate!
@vignesh004
Can you help me choose between Cloud data engineering and cloud devops? literally confused.
@veljkonikolic7788
You have a nice camera setup. Could you tell me which camera you’re using?
@TaHrPa
I'm doing an internship in DevOps and boy do I hate it. And the project we're doing is entirely in Azure, which by popular opinion is the easiest and nicest DevOps experience you'll ever get. I find myself spending most of my "free" time in git and going through the code and talking with the devs. If anything it's a great measurement of where my heart really lies. Your videos are absolutely fantastic!
@AbdAlrahman757
I'm working in the field of flutter and the field of user interface design... I loved the field of devops. Can I enter this field without my field in flutter being affected I hope you will reply and advise me ?
@friction5001
I like working everywhere and adapting to new situations
@Silverlance988
A great video, informative and funny, thanks! Just discovered the channel and insta-subbed. P.S. Loving how it's exactly 6:00 minutes long.
@mindmaps_byniti
Hi ! Great video. I'm confused in choosing a career between UX design and Devops? I'm working as a frontend developer but I dont like coding much. Please suggest :)
@bunkey-ed2vc
I'm interested in pursuing dev ops. I am a current freelance website dev (trying to start a full on website business) and I'm also about to get started on my CCNA and I have a couple of questions. #1- What DevOps courses would be the best to do and get me the best results educationally and salary wise? #2- Would having a CCNA help increase my odds of landing a DevOps job? or would that not matter? That is all. Whoever reads and answers my questions, it is extremely appreciated, and thank you so much for your time and effort.
@info.hardbodies5914
Thanks for the Video Will, Love the snippets and props in between explanations. Question: I'm also transitioning to DevOps, just cant decide between IBM or Azure Certification. I keep hearing DevOps people say it has the Operations side, yet when looking at the responsibilities through video explanation and job Ads....it seems to me the discipline is more coding in Fast-Agile environment type projects. I can code in Java and have syst admin experience, how much of dealing with operations vs coding, percentage wise will I be doing within the team.
@hossam206406
I am 35 years old now. with around 12 years of experience in Application Support and Development. I am switching to devops career by joining a little unit in my company which train people to be devops engineers. I feel that I have a long time before I can reach the same level of expertise and confidence I had in my previous role. Any advice of how can I reach there faster will be really appreciated
@milo7916
Hi! I just realized you have a bunch of Go shorts and I love them, you have any suggestions or resources you recommend for learning go? And can you talk mor in depth about go in the future?
