❄️ I Flaked Out

It’s true. I actually quit a 100 day challenge on the first day.
But wait… It’s not what you think! (Yes, I did clickbait you.)

You might have noticed I didn’t blog or tweet 9/8/2022.
You got me, I was busy that day. La-di-da. 🙄
But when I say “quit,” I mean stop doing #100DaysOfKubernetes.

When I sat down to learn Kubernetes today, I came to a shocking conclusion.
Kubernetes is just one constellation in the Milky Way of Product Delivery.
It was then that I realized learning only K8 was an great way to limit myself.

This blog rant is my announcment to say I’m moving on to better things.
I’m going to to learn the cloud. I’m going to do #100DaysOfCloud.

There’s a lot for me to learn about everything.

  • Containers
  • CI/CD
  • AWS/GCE/Azure
  • Load Balancers
  • Kernels

Yes, I know not all of those are cloud specific. But I think I can tie them in.
Whereas K8 is a framework, Cloud is a general area of computing knowledge.
But don’t worry, I still intend to maintain a very large focus on Kubernetes.
Switching challenge names just lets me enjoy a larger boundary of learning.

Never mind the fact it’s what I studied in college, or that I’m working in the industry.
I honnestly feel like a junior in all things CS/IT/Cyber. Damn you imposter syndrome.

I thought it would be best for me to document my growing knowledge base.
I’m writing to a pretend audience as if they knew very little about my topics.
After all, they say you learn the most when you teach stupid people: Like me.

Thank goodness I got that the weight is off my chest.
Now I can finally get back to living up to my blog’s subtitle.
Also, I’m counting this as a makeup day for not blogging. Bite me.

💤 TL;DR

Doing #100DaysOfCloud now.
