<p>There's a massive shortage of DevOps people right now, and you don't need much of a CS background to be a good DevOps engineer.</p>
<p>Why is it so hard right now to become one?</p>
<ul>
<li>Lack of situated contexts to practice devops
<ul>
<li>Need more minecraft servers</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Complexity, incidental and intentional</li>
<li>YAML sucks</li>
<li>Terraform is cool</li>
<li>AWS is enormous - they have their own certification program</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> Are guided sandboxes the solution? </strong>
<strong> What do DevOps interview questions look like? </strong></p>

Learning DevOps environment/course


This is [Max Krieger](https://a9.io)'s "inquiry" page. I guess it's like a [Digital Garden](https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners). But I'm not trying to upload my Second Brain to it. Just want to share some half-baked ideas. One source of inspiration for this was Kevin Lynagh's ["Collaboration ideas"](https://kevinlynagh.com/ideas/). See also Sharif Shameem's ["Questions"](https://sharif.io/questions/).

It was made with [Dendron](https://dendron.so).

Take everything I write here (well, everywhere) with a grain of salt. That said I'm always happy to talk about anything on here.

The pages definitely don't adhere to [Andy's Evergreen Notes](https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z4SDCZQeRo4xFEQ8H4qrSqd68ucpgE6LU155C) pattern, I hope one day they do.

Feel free to add [a PR or issue to the repo](https://github.com/maxkrieger/inquiry) to discuss any of these in public!

## Guide

Here are some of my favorite/extensive pages:

- [[Domain learning for computational microworlds|rethinking-media.microworld-languages]]
- [[Linux DE prototyping|projects.linux-desktop]]
- [[System Archaeology|projects.system-archaeology]]
