Getting My Hands Dirty
My first year was a reality check. Coming out of university, I thought I knew the cloud, but my rookie year was where I actually learned how things work. I spent most of my time just trying to understand how things connect and work around cloud writing my first Terraform modules and it actually made me think how powerful IAC is. It wasn't always high-level architecture even though I felt that I'm doing god's work but building that solid base taught me that you can’t automate what you don't first understand manually.
