Cloud vendors will have education content and learning paths, so why is there a need for independent content creators like me to bother?
We need someone not drinking the company Kool-Aid.
We need training not editorialized by product marketers.
We need real-world and practical instructions.
We need mix-and-match best-in-class services.
Otherwise, who's going to teach you how to run your primary workload on AWS while using Azure Microsoft Entra for identity management and GCP Big Query as your Dataware house?
Best-in-class only works if you can go across the cloud and not stay in a silo.

Reddit saying don't do overpriced bootcamps.
and specifically learn AWS and Terraform.
But they don't know about my free bootcamps 🥲
> If you're wondering what you should be tackling right now, I would say the AWS SA certificate and the Terraform associate certificate.

It’s a great day to work my last day in tech support 🫶🏼. Now, I’m going to put this picture on every email 😂

I continually get comments on my content on how to get started in cloud engineering about needing to know linux, docker, cicd, and a cloud provider is too much.
Are people really this lazy?
You can’t get a high paying job without skills. There is a reason that 99% of cloud roles are not entry level – at Hampton Township, PA

The next 5 tutorials on @educloudHQ are heavily focused on building serverless apps with terraform using serverless.tf
Maybe one day @datadoghq and others will take serverless.tf more seriously because terraform-aws-lambda module alone is cloned from GitHub 70K times a day, and people are using it.

What did you say you were going to start doing this past January?
Now look..it’s about to be September and you haven’t done anything.
So now you’re waiting until the next January to lie to yourself again?
Stand up! Start doing today!

Had a great time chatting it up live with @madebygps, @loujaybee and @blkwomenread yesterday.
During my Cloud journey, I binge-watched just about of all of Gwyn’s and Lou’s YouTube videos 😂
It’s kinda crazy that I was on a live on with them both.
It was also great to meet Mersedes and hear her perspectives on the different topics we discussed.
Check it out if you want to re-watch the live here!

Shoutout to Colby... It must have not been easy to say "No" to the $4,000 for the NDA, especially when you have to support your family. Thanks again for sharing your experience 🙏

Learning in public and sharing your progress is such an invaluable strategy.
It's literally how I landed my current Cloud Engineer role.
Here are benefits you can reap from learning in public:
Visibility
Currently, no one knows who you are and how to find you but showcasing your learning journey online lets potential employers know about your determination and progress.
Top of Mind Awareness
When the time comes to land your first tech role, being at the forefront of employers' minds can make all the difference. Regularly sharing your progress and achievements keeps you in the spotlight.
Network Enrichment
By stepping into the limelight and sharing your learning voyage, you're tapping into an extensive network of like-minded individuals, mentors and future colleagues. Your interactions can lead to opportunities you never imagined!
Accelerated Learning
Sharing your progress stimulates conversations, feedback and insights from peers and experts. This accelerates your learning curve, propelling you towards deeper understanding faster than solo efforts would.
Building Credibility
Embrace vulnerability and post your wins, challenges and insights. By doing so, you're not just showcasing your skills, you're building credibility and trust within the tech community.
If you're hesitant about sharing your progress, remind yourself, organizations you're aiming to join are looking for someone passionate, committed and ready to learn.
If your online presence reflects this, you're already one step closer to landing that role!
