answering your hardest questions about Linux, Omarchy, and more

Last week, I created a post on my Last week, I created a post on my YouTube channel where subscribers could YouTube channel where subscribers could YouTube channel where subscribers could submit questions. And in this video, I'm submit questions. And in this video, I'm submit questions. And in this video, I'm going to go through all of the questions going to go through all of the questions going to go through all of the questions that were asked on this post. So, let's that were asked on this post. So, let's that were asked on this post. So, let's jump in. So, the first question here is, jump in. So, the first question here is, jump in. So, the first question here is, "What do you think of systemd and how "What do you think of systemd and how "What do you think of systemd and how it's moving towards user registration it's moving towards user registration it's moving towards user registration and the impact it has on user privacy and the impact it has on user privacy and the impact it has on user privacy now being the only option on almost all now being the only option on almost all now being the only option on almost all major distros? Are you okay with it or major distros? Are you okay with it or major distros? Are you okay with it or planning to move to a different boot planning to move to a different boot planning to move to a different boot loader?" So, this is a very interesting loader?" So, this is a very interesting loader?" So, this is a very interesting question and very pertinent because the question and very pertinent because the question and very pertinent because the there is a lot of drama going on with there is a lot of drama going on with there is a lot of drama going on with Linux age verification at the moment. Linux age verification at the moment. Linux age verification at the moment. And a couple of weeks ago, I actually And a couple of weeks ago, I actually And a couple of weeks ago, I actually did a full 1 and 1/2 hour stream diving did a full 1 and 1/2 hour stream diving did a full 1 and 1/2 hour stream diving really deep into this topic. So, if you really deep into this topic. So, if you really deep into this topic. So, if you search for this stream on my channel, search for this stream on my channel, search for this stream on my channel, you'll be able to see that. But, in you'll be able to see that. But, in you'll be able to see that. But, in short, what I figured out during that short, what I figured out during that short, what I figured out during that stream is that systemd is complying by stream is that systemd is complying by stream is that systemd is complying by simply creating the option to log your simply creating the option to log your simply creating the option to log your age in systemd. In other words, like you age in systemd. In other words, like you age in systemd. In other words, like you already have this user database. And already have this user database. And already have this user database. And when you create a user, you can add when you create a user, you can add when you create a user, you can add things like there's also this old-school things like there's also this old-school things like there's also this old-school command where it will ask you for your command where it will ask you for your command where it will ask you for your room number and maybe your phone number room number and maybe your phone number room number and maybe your phone number and something like that. And all systemd and something like that. And all systemd and something like that. And all systemd has done so far is add another field to has done so far is add another field to has done so far is add another field to that database or to that form, that database or to that form, that database or to that form, basically. So, there's no enforcement basically. So, there's no enforcement basically. So, there's no enforcement happening. You don't need to fill it out happening. You don't need to fill it out happening. You don't need to fill it out and that it's being sent to a server to and that it's being sent to a server to and that it's being sent to a server to verify you, not at all. So, like the verify you, not at all. So, like the verify you, not at all. So, like the actual implementation of it is just a actual implementation of it is just a actual implementation of it is just a field in a form at the moment. So, the field in a form at the moment. So, the field in a form at the moment. So, the users, the administrators of Linux users, the administrators of Linux users, the administrators of Linux systems still have the choice whether

systems still have the choice whether systems still have the choice whether they're going to enforce this or not. they're going to enforce this or not. they're going to enforce this or not. So, all that to say is that I think this So, all that to say is that I think this So, all that to say is that I think this whole systemd thing is extremely whole systemd thing is extremely whole systemd thing is extremely overblown and in the root cause of it is overblown and in the root cause of it is overblown and in the root cause of it is that people don't take the time to that people don't take the time to that people don't take the time to actually investigate what systemd did actually investigate what systemd did actually investigate what systemd did and what is actually being implemented and what is actually being implemented and what is actually being implemented here. So, if you want to get all the here. So, if you want to get all the here. So, if you want to get all the details, watch that stream. I'm actually details, watch that stream. I'm actually details, watch that stream. I'm actually researching it live over there. But, to researching it live over there. But, to researching it live over there. But, to answer your question, I'm okay with it. answer your question, I'm okay with it. answer your question, I'm okay with it. I'm not planning to move to a different I'm not planning to move to a different I'm not planning to move to a different bootloader at all. Systemd is still the bootloader at all. Systemd is still the bootloader at all. Systemd is still the golden standard in the industry. So, if golden standard in the industry. So, if golden standard in the industry. So, if you want to land a job, then don't move you want to land a job, then don't move you want to land a job, then don't move away from it. Don't do it. So, that is away from it. Don't do it. So, that is away from it. Don't do it. So, that is my current stance of it. But hey, this my current stance of it. But hey, this my current stance of it. But hey, this might change in the future. The next might change in the future. The next might change in the future. The next question is, how do you test frameworks question is, how do you test frameworks question is, how do you test frameworks or operators? K3s, kind, or something or operators? K3s, kind, or something or operators? K3s, kind, or something else? So, this is an interesting else? So, this is an interesting else? So, this is an interesting question. And the first thing I would question. And the first thing I would question. And the first thing I would say here is that you should always ask say here is that you should always ask say here is that you should always ask yourself the question, what are we yourself the question, what are we yourself the question, what are we optimizing for? And what is the goal optimizing for? And what is the goal optimizing for? And what is the goal here? And I always work my way backwards here? And I always work my way backwards here? And I always work my way backwards from that goal, okay? So, if I'm testing from that goal, okay? So, if I'm testing from that goal, okay? So, if I'm testing a framework or a tool or something like a framework or a tool or something like a framework or a tool or something like that, then I always test it to the that, then I always test it to the that, then I always test it to the extent to how this tool is going to extent to how this tool is going to extent to how this tool is going to bring me closer to reaching my goal. How bring me closer to reaching my goal. How bring me closer to reaching my goal. How is it that tool affecting the process of is it that tool affecting the process of is it that tool affecting the process of reaching the goal that I have? And that reaching the goal that I have? And that reaching the goal that I have? And that is basically the methodology that I is basically the methodology that I is basically the methodology that I always use for testing things. And always use for testing things. And always use for testing things. And almost always there is like a balance almost always there is like a balance almost always there is like a balance that you need to make between one tool that you need to make between one tool that you need to make between one tool or the other. And I will always evaluate or the other. And I will always evaluate or the other. And I will always evaluate to what metric are we optimizing for, to what metric are we optimizing for, to what metric are we optimizing for, how easy is it for me to use, how much

how easy is it for me to use, how much how easy is it for me to use, how much friction is there, and how long will it friction is there, and how long will it friction is there, and how long will it take me to learn. And that is basically take me to learn. And that is basically take me to learn. And that is basically the my framework for doing that. How do the my framework for doing that. How do the my framework for doing that. How do you manage to juggle your DevOps work you manage to juggle your DevOps work you manage to juggle your DevOps work and making videos for YouTube? Well, the and making videos for YouTube? Well, the and making videos for YouTube? Well, the short answer is I work 10 to 12 hours a short answer is I work 10 to 12 hours a short answer is I work 10 to 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. And I've been doing day, 7 days a week. And I've been doing day, 7 days a week. And I've been doing that for over 6 years now. So, the short that for over 6 years now. So, the short that for over 6 years now. So, the short answer is I just work really hard. And answer is I just work really hard. And answer is I just work really hard. And the early stages of my YouTube channel the early stages of my YouTube channel the early stages of my YouTube channel and when I was building QBCraft, I would and when I was building QBCraft, I would and when I was building QBCraft, I would literally wake up at 4:00 in the literally wake up at 4:00 in the literally wake up at 4:00 in the morning. And then I would for 4:00 from morning. And then I would for 4:00 from morning. And then I would for 4:00 from 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., I would be 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., I would be 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., I would be creating videos and creating courses. creating videos and creating courses. creating videos and creating courses. Then I would work my 9:00 to 5:00. And Then I would work my 9:00 to 5:00. And Then I would work my 9:00 to 5:00. And then at 5:00 p.m., I would eat and maybe then at 5:00 p.m., I would eat and maybe then at 5:00 p.m., I would eat and maybe some days go for a run or something like some days go for a run or something like some days go for a run or something like that. And the rest of the evening I that. And the rest of the evening I that. And the rest of the evening I would spend on making more videos, would spend on making more videos, would spend on making more videos, making more courses, helping my making more courses, helping my making more courses, helping my students. So, I basically just work all students. So, I basically just work all students. So, I basically just work all the time and that is how I juggle it. I the time and that is how I juggle it. I the time and that is how I juggle it. I currently I'm not working at 9:00 to currently I'm not working at 9:00 to currently I'm not working at 9:00 to 5:00 anymore. I'm doing occasional 5:00 anymore. I'm doing occasional 5:00 anymore. I'm doing occasional freelance work, but at this point I'm freelance work, but at this point I'm freelance work, but at this point I'm like fully dedicated to teaching DevOps like fully dedicated to teaching DevOps like fully dedicated to teaching DevOps engineers and building my own AI engineers and building my own AI engineers and building my own AI applications on Kubernetes. I'm doing applications on Kubernetes. I'm doing applications on Kubernetes. I'm doing lots of live streams around that in the lots of live streams around that in the lots of live streams around that in the time to come, so make sure that you're time to come, so make sure that you're time to come, so make sure that you're subscribed for that. But yeah, I'm now subscribed for that. But yeah, I'm now subscribed for that. But yeah, I'm now moving to the going full entrepreneur moving to the going full entrepreneur moving to the going full entrepreneur and building my own applications on and building my own applications on and building my own applications on Kubernetes. And the answer is just Kubernetes. And the answer is just Kubernetes. And the answer is just working all the time. That is also the working all the time. That is also the working all the time. That is also the reality of becoming a content creator reality of becoming a content creator reality of becoming a content creator and successful business owner is that and successful business owner is that and successful business owner is that you have to be willing to work the 5:00 you have to be willing to work the 5:00 you have to be willing to work the 5:00 to 9:00. You have your 9:00 to 5:00, but

to 9:00. You have your 9:00 to 5:00, but to 9:00. You have your 9:00 to 5:00, but then in the morning you have 5:00 to then in the morning you have 5:00 to then in the morning you have 5:00 to 9:00 and at the end of the day you have 9:00 and at the end of the day you have 9:00 and at the end of the day you have 5:00 to 9:00. And if you're not willing 5:00 to 9:00. And if you're not willing 5:00 to 9:00. And if you're not willing to give up those hours, then yeah, to give up those hours, then yeah, to give up those hours, then yeah, sorry, but you're going to be the same sorry, but you're going to be the same sorry, but you're going to be the same as everybody else. So, that is how I do as everybody else. So, that is how I do as everybody else. So, that is how I do it. Next question, I graduated from uni it. Next question, I graduated from uni it. Next question, I graduated from uni a few months ago and I've been grinding a few months ago and I've been grinding a few months ago and I've been grinding Kubernetes till I managed to take and Kubernetes till I managed to take and Kubernetes till I managed to take and pass the CKA um exam first try. Nice. I pass the CKA um exam first try. Nice. I pass the CKA um exam first try. Nice. I run a Talos Linux cluster in my home run a Talos Linux cluster in my home run a Talos Linux cluster in my home lab. I already know Terraform, Open lab. I already know Terraform, Open lab. I already know Terraform, Open Tofu. I deployed the Cube Prometheus Tofu. I deployed the Cube Prometheus Tofu. I deployed the Cube Prometheus stack for monitoring through Flux, but stack for monitoring through Flux, but stack for monitoring through Flux, but observability seems like such a daunting observability seems like such a daunting observability seems like such a daunting task and I can't say I fully understand task and I can't say I fully understand task and I can't say I fully understand everything. Would you say I'm ready to everything. Would you say I'm ready to everything. Would you say I'm ready to apply to DevOps jobs or wait till I get apply to DevOps jobs or wait till I get apply to DevOps jobs or wait till I get a cloud cert first in the AZ-104? Yeah, a cloud cert first in the AZ-104? Yeah, a cloud cert first in the AZ-104? Yeah, this is a very common thing. Like your this is a very common thing. Like your this is a very common thing. Like your CKA is a very good start. You are CKA is a very good start. You are CKA is a very good start. You are building stuff, so that's good. The building stuff, so that's good. The building stuff, so that's good. The thing is that this is like a very thing is that this is like a very thing is that this is like a very typical place to be in what I call typical place to be in what I call typical place to be in what I call tutorial hell, right? You are just going tutorial hell, right? You are just going tutorial hell, right? You are just going through one thing after the other. You through one thing after the other. You through one thing after the other. You don't really know whether you're doing don't really know whether you're doing don't really know whether you're doing the right thing or not and this is the the right thing or not and this is the the right thing or not and this is the problem that I solve in CubeCraft by problem that I solve in CubeCraft by problem that I solve in CubeCraft by providing dedicated mentorship for providing dedicated mentorship for providing dedicated mentorship for people and actually answering them people and actually answering them people and actually answering them tailored to their specific situation.

tailored to their specific situation. tailored to their specific situation. And in this case you are saying that And in this case you are saying that And in this case you are saying that it's such a daunting task and I can't it's such a daunting task and I can't it's such a daunting task and I can't say I fully understand everything. So, say I fully understand everything. So, say I fully understand everything. So, like it's one thing to list all of these like it's one thing to list all of these like it's one thing to list all of these these things out and get some search and these things out and get some search and these things out and get some search and you say you run a Talos cluster in your you say you run a Talos cluster in your you say you run a Talos cluster in your home lab, but like it's one thing to run home lab, but like it's one thing to run home lab, but like it's one thing to run it, to spin it up, like almost everyone it, to spin it up, like almost everyone it, to spin it up, like almost everyone can learn to do that in an afternoon. can learn to do that in an afternoon. can learn to do that in an afternoon. But can you defend your choices? Do you But can you defend your choices? Do you But can you defend your choices? Do you actually understand what is running over actually understand what is running over actually understand what is running over there? If someone is grilling you on there? If someone is grilling you on there? If someone is grilling you on your projects that you build, do you your projects that you build, do you your projects that you build, do you know why it is or was all of this know why it is or was all of this know why it is or was all of this generated through chat G B T and are you generated through chat G B T and are you generated through chat G B T and are you basically you spun it up, but you can't basically you spun it up, but you can't basically you spun it up, but you can't explain why or how it works. So, that explain why or how it works. So, that explain why or how it works. So, that would be the type of stuff that we would would be the type of stuff that we would would be the type of stuff that we would be digging into if you were to be in my be digging into if you were to be in my be digging into if you were to be in my mentorship program. So, would you say mentorship program. So, would you say mentorship program. So, would you say I'm ready to apply? It's hard to say. If I'm ready to apply? It's hard to say. If I'm ready to apply? It's hard to say. If you don't understand, like you say you you don't understand, like you say you you don't understand, like you say you don't fully understand what you've done, don't fully understand what you've done, don't fully understand what you've done, I would say no, but it cannot hurt to I would say no, but it cannot hurt to I would say no, but it cannot hurt to just try, right? And the thing is there just try, right? And the thing is there just try, right? And the thing is there are going to be people out there, for are going to be people out there, for are going to be people out there, for example, my CubeCraft students, who are example, my CubeCraft students, who are example, my CubeCraft students, who are better than you, who have better better than you, who have better better than you, who have better understanding of what they build. They understanding of what they build. They understanding of what they build. They have better portfolios, online have better portfolios, online have better portfolios, online presences, and a deeper understanding.

presences, and a deeper understanding. presences, and a deeper understanding. So, that is your competition. But it So, that is your competition. But it So, that is your competition. But it might work. So, that is basically my might work. So, that is basically my might work. So, that is basically my answer to it. So, the next question, answer to it. So, the next question, answer to it. So, the next question, what do you think about omarche? Ooh, what do you think about omarche? Ooh, what do you think about omarche? Ooh, this is going to be a spicy one. Well, this is going to be a spicy one. Well, this is going to be a spicy one. Well, the first thing I should say is that I the first thing I should say is that I the first thing I should say is that I have not installed and run omarche have not installed and run omarche have not installed and run omarche myself. Like just to get that out of the myself. Like just to get that out of the myself. Like just to get that out of the way, I have not. So, I'm operating on way, I have not. So, I'm operating on way, I have not. So, I'm operating on what I've heard and read about it, okay? what I've heard and read about it, okay? what I've heard and read about it, okay? As far as my understanding of omarche As far as my understanding of omarche As far as my understanding of omarche goes is that it's presented as a way to goes is that it's presented as a way to goes is that it's presented as a way to quickly get up and running with Linux. quickly get up and running with Linux. quickly get up and running with Linux. It's a a beginner-friendly way to start It's a a beginner-friendly way to start It's a a beginner-friendly way to start with Linux, especially tailored to with Linux, especially tailored to with Linux, especially tailored to developers who want to have these sexy developers who want to have these sexy developers who want to have these sexy riced environments and that they can riced environments and that they can riced environments and that they can basically look cool to their colleagues. basically look cool to their colleagues. basically look cool to their colleagues. That seems to me what omarche is That seems to me what omarche is That seems to me what omarche is optimizing for. What I cannot understand optimizing for. What I cannot understand optimizing for. What I cannot understand is that if you create some sort of is that if you create some sort of is that if you create some sort of beginner-friendly art uh Linux system beginner-friendly art uh Linux system beginner-friendly art uh Linux system and it's tailored to help people get and it's tailored to help people get and it's tailored to help people get into Linux. I do not understand why into Linux. I do not understand why into Linux. I do not understand why someone would then choose Arch Linux for someone would then choose Arch Linux for someone would then choose Arch Linux for that. Literally one of the most that. Literally one of the most that. Literally one of the most unstable, sometimes toxic ways of unstable, sometimes toxic ways of unstable, sometimes toxic ways of deploying Linux. Like I do not deploying Linux. Like I do not deploying Linux. Like I do not understand why this choice was made understand why this choice was made understand why this choice was made other than and the only reason I can other than and the only reason I can other than and the only reason I can imagine is that they chose Omachi imagine is that they chose Omachi imagine is that they chose Omachi because then people could flex like I'm because then people could flex like I'm because then people could flex like I'm running Arch Linux. But the thing is to running Arch Linux. But the thing is to running Arch Linux. But the thing is to someone who actually has run Arch Linux someone who actually has run Arch Linux someone who actually has run Arch Linux for many, many years, installing Omachi for many, many years, installing Omachi for many, many years, installing Omachi does not count as running Arch Linux, does not count as running Arch Linux, does not count as running Arch Linux, okay? You ran an install script, you're okay? You ran an install script, you're okay? You ran an install script, you're probably running an unencrypted system

probably running an unencrypted system probably running an unencrypted system that you don't understand and if that you don't understand and if that you don't understand and if something's going to break, you do not something's going to break, you do not something's going to break, you do not have the skills to fix it because you have the skills to fix it because you have the skills to fix it because you didn't build it yourself. So I do not didn't build it yourself. So I do not didn't build it yourself. So I do not understand why Omachi would choose Arch understand why Omachi would choose Arch understand why Omachi would choose Arch Linux for that other than to give people Linux for that other than to give people Linux for that other than to give people a lightweight opportunity to flex like a lightweight opportunity to flex like a lightweight opportunity to flex like oh I'm I'm running Arch Linux. So that oh I'm I'm running Arch Linux. So that oh I'm I'm running Arch Linux. So that is not the way to do it. And I have is not the way to do it. And I have is not the way to do it. And I have moved away from Arch Linux. I'm not even moved away from Arch Linux. I'm not even moved away from Arch Linux. I'm not even running it anymore, but I'm very proud running it anymore, but I'm very proud running it anymore, but I'm very proud to say that I did run it for many, many to say that I did run it for many, many to say that I did run it for many, many years on a system that I built from years on a system that I built from years on a system that I built from scratch using the Arch Wiki. And that is scratch using the Arch Wiki. And that is scratch using the Arch Wiki. And that is how you do it. That's how you learn how you do it. That's how you learn how you do it. That's how you learn Linux properly. That's what I teach my Linux properly. That's what I teach my Linux properly. That's what I teach my students to do. Yeah, that is basically students to do. Yeah, that is basically students to do. Yeah, that is basically the first thing why choose one of the the first thing why choose one of the the first thing why choose one of the most unstable things to do that. The most unstable things to do that. The most unstable things to do that. The second thing is going to be that Omachi second thing is going to be that Omachi second thing is going to be that Omachi is run by DHH who has many companies so is run by DHH who has many companies so is run by DHH who has many companies so he he he builds software and actually we he he he builds software and actually we he he he builds software and actually we should look this up, but as far as I should look this up, but as far as I should look this up, but as far as I know, if you install Omachi, it is also know, if you install Omachi, it is also know, if you install Omachi, it is also going to include some software that he going to include some software that he going to include some software that he he creates for example Hey or something. he creates for example Hey or something. he creates for example Hey or something. So let's just check that Omachi just to So let's just check that Omachi just to So let's just check that Omachi just to make sure. Beautiful modern opinionated make sure. Beautiful modern opinionated make sure. Beautiful modern opinionated Linux by DHH. Yeah, so this is Hey, Linux by DHH. Yeah, so this is Hey, Linux by DHH. Yeah, so this is Hey, okay? So I believe the applications does okay? So I believe the applications does okay? So I believe the applications does that let's see does this say anything?

that let's see does this say anything? that let's see does this say anything? No. Let's see GUIs, LibreOffice. So No. Let's see GUIs, LibreOffice. So No. Let's see GUIs, LibreOffice. So going over the the going over the the going over the the does it say anything about the does it say anything about the does it say anything about the applications that are included? Let's applications that are included? Let's applications that are included? Let's see. The applications No, it just says see. The applications No, it just says see. The applications No, it just says terminal, Neovim, AI, dev tools. And terminal, Neovim, AI, dev tools. And terminal, Neovim, AI, dev tools. And actually, while I'm glancing over this, actually, while I'm glancing over this, actually, while I'm glancing over this, like I would never Oh, this looks so like I would never Oh, this looks so like I would never Oh, this looks so horrible to me to install a distro that horrible to me to install a distro that horrible to me to install a distro that has all of this stuff included. Dev has all of this stuff included. Dev has all of this stuff included. Dev tools, it ships with Neovim. Okay, tools, it ships with Neovim. Okay, tools, it ships with Neovim. Okay, great. But then, Docker? Yeah, I don't great. But then, Docker? Yeah, I don't great. But then, Docker? Yeah, I don't like that. Probably would use Podman like that. Probably would use Podman like that. Probably would use Podman instead. Oh, it includes GUIs, Obsidian, instead. Oh, it includes GUIs, Obsidian, instead. Oh, it includes GUIs, Obsidian, Kinta, Local Send No, no, no, no, no, Kinta, Local Send No, no, no, no, no, Kinta, Local Send No, no, no, no, no, no. If you're going to run Linux, like no. If you're going to run Linux, like no. If you're going to run Linux, like don't let other people decide what you don't let other people decide what you don't let other people decide what you run, okay? Like do your own research. run, okay? Like do your own research. run, okay? Like do your own research. Other packages? No. I I don't like this Other packages? No. I I don't like this Other packages? No. I I don't like this at all. Like I'm sorry, but I I I I at all. Like I'm sorry, but I I I I at all. Like I'm sorry, but I I I I don't. And let's see. Terminal, don't. And let's see. Terminal, don't. And let's see. Terminal, Alacritty is the default terminal. Alacritty is the default terminal. Alacritty is the default terminal. That's a good choice. Tmux layout That's a good choice. Tmux layout That's a good choice. Tmux layout functions because T Oh, wait. So, they functions because T Oh, wait. So, they functions because T Oh, wait. So, they even like program Tmux for you? Ooh, no, even like program Tmux for you? Ooh, no, even like program Tmux for you? Ooh, no, I don't like that. No, no, no, no, no.

I don't like that. No, no, no, no, no. I don't like that. No, no, no, no, no. Let's see. Omarche ships with an Let's see. Omarche ships with an Let's see. Omarche ships with an ergonomically optimized Tmux ergonomically optimized Tmux ergonomically optimized Tmux configuration. Okay, here we go. This is configuration. Okay, here we go.

You get tons of bloat, and they are going to teach you bloat, and they are going to teach you bloat, and they are going to teach you horrible horrible patterns. Like Oh, horrible horrible patterns. Like Oh, horrible horrible patterns. Like Oh, this is so against anything I would ever this is so against anything I would ever this is so against anything I would ever teach my students. You do not change the teach my students. You do not change the teach my students. You do not change the default key bindings in Tmux, period. default key bindings in Tmux, period. default key bindings in Tmux, period.

Omarche, this is absolute total that is this is absolute total that is this is absolute total that is going to teach bad patterns to people going to teach bad patterns to people going to teach bad patterns to people and this should be deleted off the and this should be deleted off the and this should be deleted off the internet in my opinion. So, that's all internet in my opinion. So, that's all internet in my opinion. So, that's all I'm going to say about Omachi. It will I'm going to say about Omachi. It will I'm going to say about Omachi. It will also will include like say and all of also will include like say and all of also will include like say and all of the stuff that DHH builds. I've nothing the stuff that DHH builds. I've nothing the stuff that DHH builds. I've nothing against Mr. DHH. That's not the the against Mr. DHH. That's not the the against Mr. DHH. That's not the the thing here, but be aware that I believe thing here, but be aware that I believe thing here, but be aware that I believe hey and all of that software is going to hey and all of that software is going to hey and all of that software is going to be included with your install plus of be included with your install plus of be included with your install plus of the other bloat. So, no, stay away from the other bloat. So, no, stay away from the other bloat. So, no, stay away from it. How many hours do you sleep? That's it. How many hours do you sleep? That's it. How many hours do you sleep? That's actually a great question because I have

actually a great question because I have actually a great question because I have been on a big journey about this. You been on a big journey about this. You been on a big journey about this. You may not know that I also have a may not know that I also have a may not know that I also have a Substack, a personal Substack where I Substack, a personal Substack where I Substack, a personal Substack where I talk about more personal stuff as well. talk about more personal stuff as well. talk about more personal stuff as well. It's mishavandenberg.substack.com. It's mishavandenberg.substack.com. It's mishavandenberg.substack.com. It's usually linked below my videos too. It's usually linked below my videos too. It's usually linked below my videos too. So, for multiple years I've been So, for multiple years I've been So, for multiple years I've been tracking my sleep with an an Aura ring, tracking my sleep with an an Aura ring, tracking my sleep with an an Aura ring, with my Whoop. I use an Eight Sleep with my Whoop. I use an Eight Sleep with my Whoop. I use an Eight Sleep mattress. I take supplements. I did so mattress. I take supplements. I did so mattress. I take supplements. I did so much. I changed my complete life around much. I changed my complete life around much. I changed my complete life around optimizing for sleep. And truth is that optimizing for sleep. And truth is that optimizing for sleep. And truth is that now I sleep 7 and 1/2 8 hours a night, now I sleep 7 and 1/2 8 hours a night, now I sleep 7 and 1/2 8 hours a night, but for most of my life I've been but for most of my life I've been but for most of my life I've been sleeping 5 to 6 hours and if you want to sleeping 5 to 6 hours and if you want to sleeping 5 to 6 hours and if you want to know more about how I did it and why know more about how I did it and why know more about how I did it and why etc., then check out my Substack. It etc., then check out my Substack. It etc., then check out my Substack. It will be linked below this video as well will be linked below this video as well will be linked below this video as well and I did a full detailed video about my and I did a full detailed video about my and I did a full detailed video about my whole protocol and I hope it will serve whole protocol and I hope it will serve whole protocol and I hope it will serve you well. But if there's anything I you well. But if there's anything I you well. But if there's anything I I would advise you is to prioritize I would advise you is to prioritize I would advise you is to prioritize sleep. It's good for you. You will study sleep. It's good for you. You will study sleep. It's good for you. You will study better. You will perform better and it's better. You will perform better and it's better. You will perform better and it's one of the biggest improvements I've one of the biggest improvements I've one of the biggest improvements I've made over my life in my life over the made over my life in my life over the made over my life in my life over the past few years. But it has been a long past few years. But it has been a long past few years. But it has been a long journey for me. It took me a lot of journey for me. It took me a lot of journey for me. It took me a lot of effort to to fix it. Will AI take DevOps effort to to fix it. Will AI take DevOps effort to to fix it. Will AI take DevOps jobs? Oh, yeah. I I I actually have done jobs? Oh, yeah. I I I actually have done jobs? Oh, yeah. I I I actually have done multiple videos around this theme multiple videos around this theme multiple videos around this theme recently. One of them will be linked up recently. One of them will be linked up recently. One of them will be linked up here if you're interested. The short here if you're interested. The short here if you're interested. The short answer is no. The more nuanced answer is answer is no. The more nuanced answer is answer is no. The more nuanced answer is I should start by saying that nobody I should start by saying that nobody I should start by saying that nobody actually knows. So, me sitting here and actually knows. So, me sitting here and actually knows. So, me sitting here and giving a definitive answer is always giving a definitive answer is always giving a definitive answer is always going to be flawed. So, I I want to going to be flawed. So, I I want to going to be flawed. So, I I want to preface that by saying that nobody

preface that by saying that nobody preface that by saying that nobody actually knows and anyone who claims to actually knows and anyone who claims to actually knows and anyone who claims to know is is a fraud. Then, the second know is is a fraud. Then, the second know is is a fraud. Then, the second thing is that AI is never going to be thing is that AI is never going to be thing is that AI is never going to be worse than it is right now. So, what it worse than it is right now. So, what it worse than it is right now. So, what it cannot do today in 1 year or 5 years cannot do today in 1 year or 5 years cannot do today in 1 year or 5 years from now is going to be a completely from now is going to be a completely from now is going to be a completely different situation. And with that different situation. And with that different situation. And with that uncertainty, it is very hard to give any uncertainty, it is very hard to give any uncertainty, it is very hard to give any real predictions. However, as someone real predictions. However, as someone real predictions. However, as someone who has used AI for 6-plus hours for 2 who has used AI for 6-plus hours for 2 who has used AI for 6-plus hours for 2 years straight at 6-plus hours a day for years straight at 6-plus hours a day for years straight at 6-plus hours a day for 2 years straight right now, ever since 2 years straight right now, ever since 2 years straight right now, ever since it came out, I do feel that I have a it came out, I do feel that I have a it came out, I do feel that I have a very strong position to evaluate the very strong position to evaluate the very strong position to evaluate the current state of affairs. And that is current state of affairs. And that is current state of affairs. And that is what I can judge from. So, I use AI to what I can judge from. So, I use AI to what I can judge from. So, I use AI to build my own apps on Kubernetes. You can build my own apps on Kubernetes. You can build my own apps on Kubernetes. You can check out my live streams around that. check out my live streams around that. check out my live streams around that. So, I'm actively building applications So, I'm actively building applications So, I'm actively building applications now. I'm I'm building and deploying now. I'm I'm building and deploying now. I'm I'm building and deploying applications. I'm using AI to build them applications. I'm using AI to build them applications. I'm using AI to build them to deploy the applications. AI runs a to deploy the applications. AI runs a to deploy the applications. AI runs a lot of my personal life and my business. lot of my personal life and my business. lot of my personal life and my business. So, my company is a very AI-forward So, my company is a very AI-forward So, my company is a very AI-forward company, and we use tons of AI workflows company, and we use tons of AI workflows company, and we use tons of AI workflows to help us in the company. But, with all to help us in the company. But, with all to help us in the company. But, with all of this experience and knowledge of this experience and knowledge of this experience and knowledge combined, for actual DevOps engineering combined, for actual DevOps engineering combined, for actual DevOps engineering work, I still think DevOps engineers are work, I still think DevOps engineers are work, I still think DevOps engineers are going to be extremely safe in the in a going to be extremely safe in the in a going to be extremely safe in the in a very foreseeable very foreseeable very foreseeable future to come. Is AI going to impact future to come. Is AI going to impact future to come. Is AI going to impact our jobs as DevOps engineers? 100%.

our jobs as DevOps engineers? 100%. our jobs as DevOps engineers? 100%. 100%. It is going to reduce some of the 100%. It is going to reduce some of the 100%. It is going to reduce some of the tasks that DevOps engineers have to do. tasks that DevOps engineers have to do. tasks that DevOps engineers have to do. But, the thing here is that I have all But, the thing here is that I have all But, the thing here is that I have all like in all of the DevOps jobs I've had, like in all of the DevOps jobs I've had, like in all of the DevOps jobs I've had, all of the contracts I've done, the all of the contracts I've done, the all of the contracts I've done, the DevOps team is always overloaded. DevOps team is always overloaded. DevOps team is always overloaded. There's always too much to do, right? There's always too much to do, right? There's always too much to do, right? There's always fires to put out. You There's always fires to put out. You There's always fires to put out. You want to work on this feature, but then want to work on this feature, but then want to work on this feature, but then suddenly a server goes down and you're suddenly a server goes down and you're suddenly a server goes down and you're dragged away from that. There's always dragged away from that. There's always dragged away from that. There's always this sort of balancing act, and there's this sort of balancing act, and there's this sort of balancing act, and there's never enough time. So, if anything, I never enough time. So, if anything, I never enough time. So, if anything, I think AI is going to help DevOps teams think AI is going to help DevOps teams think AI is going to help DevOps teams to finally get around to the real to finally get around to the real to finally get around to the real important stuff. Finally, we are going important stuff. Finally, we are going important stuff. Finally, we are going to get time to focus on securing our to get time to focus on securing our to get time to focus on securing our application end-to-end properly and application end-to-end properly and application end-to-end properly and implementing SBoMs and implementing implementing SBoMs and implementing implementing SBoMs and implementing container scanning and security and container scanning and security and container scanning and security and doing all of these things properly, doing all of these things properly, doing all of these things properly, right? So, if anything, I think DevOps right? So, if anything, I think DevOps right? So, if anything, I think DevOps engineers are going to have more work to engineers are going to have more work to engineers are going to have more work to do and better work to do. do and better work to do. do and better work to do. boilerplate code, infrastructure as boilerplate code, infrastructure as boilerplate code, infrastructure as code, managing cloud resources, even AI code, managing cloud resources, even AI code, managing cloud resources, even AI is very helpful in that. Initial is very helpful in that. Initial is very helpful in that. Initial incident response, so it can do initial incident response, so it can do initial incident response, so it can do initial debugging with even with agentic debugging with even with agentic debugging with even with agentic workflows. All of that is going to save workflows. All of that is going to save workflows. All of that is going to save time, but I don't think it is going to time, but I don't think it is going to time, but I don't think it is going to take many DevOps jobs. It is certainly take many DevOps jobs. It is certainly take many DevOps jobs. It is certainly not like you cannot replace DevOps not like you cannot replace DevOps not like you cannot replace DevOps engineers by AI because DevOps by its engineers by AI because DevOps by its engineers by AI because DevOps by its definition is a super broad role, and definition is a super broad role, and definition is a super broad role, and the most important thing, which is why the most important thing, which is why the most important thing, which is why DevOps is so safe, is that DevOps is not DevOps is so safe, is that DevOps is not DevOps is so safe, is that DevOps is not just a technical role, okay? Like,

just a technical role, okay? Like, just a technical role, okay? Like, developing and writing code is a very developing and writing code is a very developing and writing code is a very technical thing often. Like, there's technical thing often. Like, there's technical thing often. Like, there's many layers to software engineering, but many layers to software engineering, but many layers to software engineering, but what I'm trying to get at is that you what I'm trying to get at is that you what I'm trying to get at is that you can be a programmer and almost never can be a programmer and almost never can be a programmer and almost never interact with humans. Like, you get a interact with humans. Like, you get a interact with humans. Like, you get a ticket with a feature in it, and you ticket with a feature in it, and you ticket with a feature in it, and you spend 2 weeks writing that code, and spend 2 weeks writing that code, and spend 2 weeks writing that code, and that's it, okay? There are programmers, that's it, okay? There are programmers, that's it, okay? There are programmers, plenty of programmers, that work this plenty of programmers, that work this plenty of programmers, that work this way. As everybody knows, like, writing way. As everybody knows, like, writing way. As everybody knows, like, writing code has almost completely been code has almost completely been code has almost completely been outsourced to AI models right now. But, outsourced to AI models right now. But, outsourced to AI models right now. But, what you cannot outsource is human what you cannot outsource is human what you cannot outsource is human interaction and human the human side of interaction and human the human side of interaction and human the human side of things. And DevOps is a very things. And DevOps is a very things. And DevOps is a very human-focused role. So, as a DevOps human-focused role. So, as a DevOps human-focused role. So, as a DevOps engineer, you're not writing code all engineer, you're not writing code all engineer, you're not writing code all day. You're not just sitting there day. You're not just sitting there day. You're not just sitting there tinkering with servers. A true DevOps tinkering with servers. A true DevOps tinkering with servers. A true DevOps engineers needs to talk to stakeholders, engineers needs to talk to stakeholders, engineers needs to talk to stakeholders, map out the requirements that teams map out the requirements that teams map out the requirements that teams have. What are they actually struggling have. What are they actually struggling have. What are they actually struggling with? How are we going to approach this? with? How are we going to approach this? with? How are we going to approach this? Okay, so we're running Kubernetes Okay, so we're running Kubernetes Okay, so we're running Kubernetes clusters. Now I need to get to get the clusters. Now I need to get to get the clusters. Now I need to get to get the development teams to actually use them development teams to actually use them development teams to actually use them properly and implement auto scaling in properly and implement auto scaling in properly and implement auto scaling in their application. Yeah, but we don't their application. Yeah, but we don't their application. Yeah, but we don't have time and we don't have This is not have time and we don't have This is not have time and we don't have This is not a priority on our backlog. Yes, but if a priority on our backlog. Yes, but if a priority on our backlog. Yes, but if you would do it, you would save a lot of you would do it, you would save a lot of you would do it, you would save a lot of costs, so management would be a lot costs, so management would be a lot costs, so management would be a lot happier. This kind of interaction is happier. This kind of interaction is happier. This kind of interaction is something that cannot be outsourced to something that cannot be outsourced to something that cannot be outsourced to AI at all, especially in large AI at all, especially in large AI at all, especially in large organizations where DevOps engineers are organizations where DevOps engineers are organizations where DevOps engineers are kind of the glue dev and ops between dev kind of the glue dev and ops between dev kind of the glue dev and ops between dev and ops, right? So that in in the the and ops, right? So that in in the the and ops, right? So that in in the the purest form of the DevOps philosophy and purest form of the DevOps philosophy and purest form of the DevOps philosophy and role cannot be taken over by by AI. So

role cannot be taken over by by AI. So role cannot be taken over by by AI. So that to me is one reason why DevOps is that to me is one reason why DevOps is that to me is one reason why DevOps is safe from AI. And finally, the second safe from AI. And finally, the second safe from AI. And finally, the second reason is Kubernetes is the de facto reason is Kubernetes is the de facto reason is Kubernetes is the de facto operating system for AI workloads, as operating system for AI workloads, as operating system for AI workloads, as stated publicly by the CNCF. So DevOps stated publicly by the CNCF. So DevOps stated publicly by the CNCF. So DevOps engineers or modern infrastructure engineers or modern infrastructure engineers or modern infrastructure engineers control and manage the engineers control and manage the engineers control and manage the infrastructure that the actual AI infrastructure that the actual AI infrastructure that the actual AI workloads need to run on. So ChatGPT, workloads need to run on. So ChatGPT, workloads need to run on. So ChatGPT, Anthropic, Claude, Grok AI, Google Anthropic, Claude, Grok AI, Google Anthropic, Claude, Grok AI, Google Gemini, all of this stuff is being Gemini, all of this stuff is being Gemini, all of this stuff is being built, trained, and run on Kubernetes. built, trained, and run on Kubernetes. built, trained, and run on Kubernetes. So if you have Kubernetes skills and AI So if you have Kubernetes skills and AI So if you have Kubernetes skills and AI infrastructure skills, you control the infrastructure skills, you control the infrastructure skills, you control the infrastructure that all of this stuff infrastructure that all of this stuff infrastructure that all of this stuff needs to run on. So by definition, you needs to run on. So by definition, you needs to run on. So by definition, you have a skill set that is going to be have a skill set that is going to be have a skill set that is going to be relevant for decades to come. And if you relevant for decades to come. And if you relevant for decades to come. And if you want to know more about that, like want to know more about that, like want to know more about that, like Kubernetes is the answer. I have a Kubernetes is the answer. I have a Kubernetes is the answer. I have a completely free Kubernetes learning road completely free Kubernetes learning road completely free Kubernetes learning road map that is linked down in the map that is linked down in the map that is linked down in the description below. This will teach you description below. This will teach you description below. This will teach you the full path to becoming a Kubernetes the full path to becoming a Kubernetes the full path to becoming a Kubernetes engineer, what the steps are. It engineer, what the steps are. It engineer, what the steps are. It includes 8 hours of free content of my includes 8 hours of free content of my includes 8 hours of free content of my paid courses that you get completely for paid courses that you get completely for paid courses that you get completely for free. So check it out. It's linked in free. So check it out. It's linked in free. So check it out. It's linked in the description below, completely for the description below, completely for the description below, completely for free. How can I create and scale my own free. How can I create and scale my own free. How can I create and scale my own home data center? I love that question.

home data center? I love that question. home data center? I love that question. Well, start by getting Well, start by getting Well, start by getting 10G internet and lots of power. If you 10G internet and lots of power. If you 10G internet and lots of power. If you really want your own data center, make really want your own data center, make really want your own data center, make sure that you have a room that is sure that you have a room that is sure that you have a room that is soundproof because these servers are soundproof because these servers are soundproof because these servers are loud and but I think you just mean a loud and but I think you just mean a loud and but I think you just mean a home lab that is maybe a little bit more home lab that is maybe a little bit more home lab that is maybe a little bit more than usual. So the serious answer here than usual. So the serious answer here than usual. So the serious answer here is to start small, start with what you is to start small, start with what you is to start small, start with what you have. You do not need to buy tons of big have. You do not need to buy tons of big have. You do not need to buy tons of big servers and and and GPUs, etc. You start servers and and and GPUs, etc. You start servers and and and GPUs, etc. You start with what you have, maybe a Raspberry Pi with what you have, maybe a Raspberry Pi with what you have, maybe a Raspberry Pi and gradually build out from there. That and gradually build out from there. That and gradually build out from there. That is how to create and start it and then is how to create and start it and then is how to create and start it and then you scale it from there. Next question you scale it from there. Next question you scale it from there. Next question is comparison of Arch versus NixOS. is comparison of Arch versus NixOS. is comparison of Arch versus NixOS. Interesting question. Yeah, you're Interesting question. Yeah, you're Interesting question. Yeah, you're asking me but this is something that you asking me but this is something that you asking me but this is something that you could easily Google, right? But could easily Google, right? But could easily Google, right? But basically Arch is a full-on Linux basically Arch is a full-on Linux basically Arch is a full-on Linux distribution. It's very minimal and it distribution. It's very minimal and it distribution. It's very minimal and it allows you to build your own Arch allows you to build your own Arch allows you to build your own Arch or Linux system basically from scratch or Linux system basically from scratch or Linux system basically from scratch like Linux from scratch is a term. So I like Linux from scratch is a term. So I like Linux from scratch is a term. So I do not like I don't I don't mean that do not like I don't I don't mean that do not like I don't I don't mean that Arch Linux is actually Linux from Arch Linux is actually Linux from Arch Linux is actually Linux from scratch. But with Arch Linux, you get a scratch. But with Arch Linux, you get a scratch. But with Arch Linux, you get a very basic minimal system and it's your very basic minimal system and it's your very basic minimal system and it's your job to build it out in the way you like job to build it out in the way you like job to build it out in the way you like it. This is why I like Arch so much. Now it. This is why I like Arch so much. Now it. This is why I like Arch so much. Now NixOS is different in the sense that it NixOS is different in the sense that it NixOS is different in the sense that it is declarative. So with when you build is declarative. So with when you build is declarative. So with when you build an Arch Linux system, you are on the an Arch Linux system, you are on the an Arch Linux system, you are on the command line running the commands and command line running the commands and command line running the commands and manually installing packages. NixOS has manually installing packages. NixOS has manually installing packages. NixOS has a whole programming language that you a whole programming language that you a whole programming language that you need to learn from bad documentation and need to learn from bad documentation and need to learn from bad documentation and from what I gather a toxic community.

from what I gather a toxic community. from what I gather a toxic community. It's required that you learn this whole It's required that you learn this whole It's required that you learn this whole programming language in order to build programming language in order to build programming language in order to build your operating system. And to be honest, your operating system. And to be honest, your operating system. And to be honest, like I'm really interested in it. Like like I'm really interested in it. Like like I'm really interested in it. Like this is such a compelling way of running this is such a compelling way of running this is such a compelling way of running your infrastructure. And my YouTube your infrastructure. And my YouTube your infrastructure. And my YouTube videos, like every time I make a video videos, like every time I make a video videos, like every time I make a video about my containerized workflows, people about my containerized workflows, people about my containerized workflows, people are saying yeah, you should just use are saying yeah, you should just use are saying yeah, you should just use NixOS. And I don't disregard those NixOS. And I don't disregard those NixOS. And I don't disregard those comments, but I I really like the idea comments, but I I really like the idea comments, but I I really like the idea of NixOS and I actually frankly would of NixOS and I actually frankly would of NixOS and I actually frankly would like to use it. But the reason why I like to use it. But the reason why I like to use it. But the reason why I don't do it is because NixOS has don't do it is because NixOS has don't do it is because NixOS has basically zero relevance in the actual basically zero relevance in the actual basically zero relevance in the actual modern infrastructure industry. So, I modern infrastructure industry. So, I modern infrastructure industry. So, I like to keep my chops inside of Linux like to keep my chops inside of Linux like to keep my chops inside of Linux running systemd, running working with running systemd, running working with running systemd, running working with Podman, working with the tools that Podman, working with the tools that Podman, working with the tools that actual Linux systems in large enterprise actual Linux systems in large enterprise actual Linux systems in large enterprise environments are actually using. So, I environments are actually using. So, I environments are actually using. So, I keep building my skills into that rather keep building my skills into that rather keep building my skills into that rather than learning some obscure programming than learning some obscure programming than learning some obscure programming language that I would only use to manage language that I would only use to manage language that I would only use to manage my personal workstation and my dot my personal workstation and my dot my personal workstation and my dot files. Like, that does not sound like a files. Like, that does not sound like a files. Like, that does not sound like a compelling use case for me to spend so compelling use case for me to spend so compelling use case for me to spend so much time. Like, I've literally talked much time. Like, I've literally talked much time. Like, I've literally talked to so many people who say it takes about to so many people who say it takes about to so many people who say it takes about 6 to 12 months to learn this well. And 6 to 12 months to learn this well. And 6 to 12 months to learn this well. And if I do something, I want to do it well.

if I do something, I want to do it well. if I do something, I want to do it well. And as an entrepreneur with a very high And as an entrepreneur with a very high And as an entrepreneur with a very high hour hourly rate, that is just wasted hour hourly rate, that is just wasted hour hourly rate, that is just wasted time for me. So, I do I will not do time for me. So, I do I will not do time for me. So, I do I will not do spend time on that on NixOS. Maybe when spend time on that on NixOS. Maybe when spend time on that on NixOS. Maybe when I retire and I have all the time in the I retire and I have all the time in the I retire and I have all the time in the world, maybe one day I will look into world, maybe one day I will look into world, maybe one day I will look into it, but for now, I keep to stuff that is it, but for now, I keep to stuff that is it, but for now, I keep to stuff that is actually being run in in production in actually being run in in production in actually being run in in production in small and large environments. Will you small and large environments. Will you small and large environments. Will you ever make a YouTube video on how to ever make a YouTube video on how to ever make a YouTube video on how to build dev containers? Well, the answer build dev containers? Well, the answer build dev containers? Well, the answer is no. You see, when I teach this to my is no. You see, when I teach this to my is no. You see, when I teach this to my private students, I I build a a full private students, I I build a a full private students, I I build a a full 8-hour course that people work through, 8-hour course that people work through, 8-hour course that people work through, okay? So, that is beyond the scope of a okay? So, that is beyond the scope of a okay? So, that is beyond the scope of a simple YouTube video. To build dev simple YouTube video. To build dev simple YouTube video. To build dev containers is super easy. You can containers is super easy. You can containers is super easy. You can literally search that on the internet, literally search that on the internet, literally search that on the internet, but the key is how the VS Code, you but the key is how the VS Code, you but the key is how the VS Code, you literally just click one button and you literally just click one button and you literally just click one button and you have a dev container. Like, that is not have a dev container. Like, that is not have a dev container. Like, that is not the magic. The magic is how do you do the magic. The magic is how do you do the magic. The magic is how do you do this properly from the command line and this properly from the command line and this properly from the command line and have a create a have a workflow where have a create a have a workflow where have a create a have a workflow where you create a reproducible dev you create a reproducible dev you create a reproducible dev environment in any containerized environment in any containerized environment in any containerized environment where you are. So, it's not environment where you are. So, it's not environment where you are. So, it's not about dev containers, it's also about about dev containers, it's also about about dev containers, it's also about how are you actually creating this how are you actually creating this how are you actually creating this environment from scratch. And in order environment from scratch. And in order environment from scratch. And in order to explain that correctly and deeply to to explain that correctly and deeply to to explain that correctly and deeply to you, the course is 8 hours excluding the you, the course is 8 hours excluding the you, the course is 8 hours excluding the bonuses. So, I need time and to teach bonuses. So, I need time and to teach bonuses. So, I need time and to teach this properly and that is beyond the this properly and that is beyond the this properly and that is beyond the scope of a YouTube video. Most people scope of a YouTube video. Most people scope of a YouTube video. Most people don't have the attention span to watch don't have the attention span to watch don't have the attention span to watch that anyway. So, that's why I won't do that anyway. So, that's why I won't do that anyway. So, that's why I won't do it. Next question. You said a few times it. Next question. You said a few times it. Next question. You said a few times that you are very sensitive to noise. I that you are very sensitive to noise. I that you are very sensitive to noise. I presume also following your persona that presume also following your persona that presume also following your persona that probably you don't live in a house probably you don't live in a house probably you don't live in a house rather a flat. How do you handle such

rather a flat. How do you handle such rather a flat. How do you handle such issues with noisy neighbors, parties, issues with noisy neighbors, parties, issues with noisy neighbors, parties, drilling, and so on? It can totally drilling, and so on? It can totally drilling, and so on? It can totally destroy my flow state while learning. destroy my flow state while learning. destroy my flow state while learning. Yes, I am sensitive to noise. I do live Yes, I am sensitive to noise. I do live Yes, I am sensitive to noise. I do live in a flat. You got that right and I am in a flat. You got that right and I am in a flat. You got that right and I am very fortunate though that I live in a very fortunate though that I live in a very fortunate though that I live in a particularly quiet in building. So, I I particularly quiet in building. So, I I particularly quiet in building. So, I I almost never have noisy neighbors or almost never have noisy neighbors or almost never have noisy neighbors or parties going on. It happens like four parties going on. It happens like four parties going on. It happens like four times a year or so. I'm very very very times a year or so. I'm very very very times a year or so. I'm very very very lucky with that. The thing is that in lucky with that. The thing is that in lucky with that. The thing is that in that sense my my my environment is that sense my my my environment is that sense my my my environment is great, but when I am in my office or my great, but when I am in my office or my great, but when I am in my office or my bedroom and I open my window, I will bedroom and I open my window, I will bedroom and I open my window, I will hear car noise. It was just all day hear car noise. It was just all day hear car noise. It was just all day long. long. long. There's just a road, but it's not like a There's just a road, but it's not like a There's just a road, but it's not like a highway, but it's just that every minute highway, but it's just that every minute highway, but it's just that every minute a car will pass that road. It's in a car will pass that road. It's in a car will pass that road. It's in through the middle of the small town through the middle of the small town through the middle of the small town that I live in. So, I'm hearing that that I live in. So, I'm hearing that that I live in. So, I'm hearing that noise all the time and like there are noise all the time and like there are noise all the time and like there are moments in my day where I don't register moments in my day where I don't register moments in my day where I don't register it, but when I'm like in bed reading a it, but when I'm like in bed reading a it, but when I'm like in bed reading a book and I have my window open which I book and I have my window open which I book and I have my window open which I have almost year-round, I will always I have almost year-round, I will always I have almost year-round, I will always I will always um hear it. What I do is will always um hear it. What I do is will always um hear it. What I do is when I sleep, I always sleep with ear when I sleep, I always sleep with ear when I sleep, I always sleep with ear plugs. The second thing is I will very plugs. The second thing is I will very plugs. The second thing is I will very often use white noise. So, there is on often use white noise. So, there is on often use white noise. So, there is on YouTube music white noise three hour YouTube music white noise three hour YouTube music white noise three hour long. I almost always when I enter a long. I almost always when I enter a long. I almost always when I enter a deep work session, I will put my deep work session, I will put my deep work session, I will put my headphones on and listen to that. Um headphones on and listen to that. Um headphones on and listen to that. Um this is apparently proven in studies to this is apparently proven in studies to this is apparently proven in studies to help with focus as well. I didn't used help with focus as well. I didn't used help with focus as well. I didn't used to do this, but um I do it now and it to do this, but um I do it now and it to do this, but um I do it now and it helps. And every time I there is like

helps. And every time I there is like helps. And every time I there is like noise going on around me. So, for noise going on around me. So, for noise going on around me. So, for example, when I worked in an office example, when I worked in an office example, when I worked in an office still and I had to show up and be in the still and I had to show up and be in the still and I had to show up and be in the office before I went independent, then I office before I went independent, then I office before I went independent, then I would always bring really good would always bring really good would always bring really good noise-canceling headphones because I noise-canceling headphones because I noise-canceling headphones because I cannot work if I hear a conversation cannot work if I hear a conversation cannot work if I hear a conversation going on. So, I would always just go to going on. So, I would always just go to going on. So, I would always just go to the office because I had to. I would the office because I had to. I would the office because I had to. I would show up, say hi, and talk to my show up, say hi, and talk to my show up, say hi, and talk to my colleagues, and then when it was time to colleagues, and then when it was time to colleagues, and then when it was time to work, I would always just have my work, I would always just have my work, I would always just have my noise-canceling headphones on. I use noise-canceling headphones on. I use noise-canceling headphones on. I use AirPods Max, they were great, and I AirPods Max, they were great, and I AirPods Max, they were great, and I would have them on. I would then first would have them on. I would then first would have them on. I would then first try like a white noise or brown noise, try like a white noise or brown noise, try like a white noise or brown noise, and if that didn't work, I would listen and if that didn't work, I would listen and if that didn't work, I would listen to very loud music. Like, I'm a to very loud music. Like, I'm a to very loud music. Like, I'm a metalhead, I love metal music, and so metalhead, I love metal music, and so metalhead, I love metal music, and so that is what I would listen to. Now, that is what I would listen to. Now, that is what I would listen to. Now, listening to music while working is listening to music while working is listening to music while working is proven to decrease efficiency and focus. proven to decrease efficiency and focus. proven to decrease efficiency and focus. However, I am less productive if I hear However, I am less productive if I hear However, I am less productive if I hear conversations around me than when I conversations around me than when I conversations around me than when I listen to music. So, it's like how listen to music. So, it's like how listen to music. So, it's like how inefficient do I want to be? I'm 100% inefficient do I want to be? I'm 100% inefficient do I want to be? I'm 100% inefficient, but let's say I am 100% inefficient, but let's say I am 100% inefficient, but let's say I am 100% efficient if it's total silence around efficient if it's total silence around efficient if it's total silence around me, and I can focus, okay? That's when me, and I can focus, okay? That's when me, and I can focus, okay? That's when I'm 100% efficient. If I have I'm 100% efficient. If I have I'm 100% efficient. If I have conversations happening around me, I conversations happening around me, I conversations happening around me, I drop to like maybe 5%. Like, I cannot drop to like maybe 5%. Like, I cannot drop to like maybe 5%. Like, I cannot focus. I try, but it's just super hard focus. I try, but it's just super hard focus. I try, but it's just super hard for me to do. So, then I'm at like 5% for me to do. So, then I'm at like 5% for me to do. So, then I'm at like 5% capacity. If I listen to music, I would capacity. If I listen to music, I would capacity. If I listen to music, I would go back to maybe 50-60% depending on the go back to maybe 50-60% depending on the go back to maybe 50-60% depending on the type of music and my mood. Sometimes, I type of music and my mood. Sometimes, I type of music and my mood. Sometimes, I can like listen to music and be at like can like listen to music and be at like can like listen to music and be at like 80% or so and have a have good focus,

80% or so and have a have good focus, 80% or so and have a have good focus, but that is basically where I'm at at but that is basically where I'm at at but that is basically where I'm at at the scale. So, to me, it would be worth the scale. So, to me, it would be worth the scale. So, to me, it would be worth it to listen to music really loud and it to listen to music really loud and it to listen to music really loud and drown out the conversations and be able drown out the conversations and be able drown out the conversations and be able to focus on my work. So, that is how I to focus on my work. So, that is how I to focus on my work. So, that is how I deal with it. I basically block out the deal with it. I basically block out the deal with it. I basically block out the noise, and when I have noise around me, noise, and when I have noise around me, noise, and when I have noise around me, I use earplugs when sleeping, and then I use earplugs when sleeping, and then I use earplugs when sleeping, and then white noise while working. What is white noise while working. What is white noise while working. What is WebSocket, and what exactly socket, and WebSocket, and what exactly socket, and WebSocket, and what exactly socket, and how it works, and how is it different how it works, and how is it different how it works, and how is it different from HTTP? Can you make this as a video, from HTTP? Can you make this as a video, from HTTP? Can you make this as a video, please? Okay, well, it's interesting please? Okay, well, it's interesting please? Okay, well, it's interesting idea. Like, I'm not going to explain idea. Like, I'm not going to explain idea. Like, I'm not going to explain that in this video. We've already gone that in this video. We've already gone that in this video. We've already gone very long, and this is basically stuff very long, and this is basically stuff very long, and this is basically stuff that you could easily look up in a that you could easily look up in a that you could easily look up in a tutorial otherwise. But, if you like my tutorial otherwise. But, if you like my tutorial otherwise. But, if you like my teaching style, I would be happy to dig teaching style, I would be happy to dig teaching style, I would be happy to dig into it and make a tutorial at some into it and make a tutorial at some into it and make a tutorial at some point. Next question. We need how to point. Next question. We need how to point. Next question. We need how to self-host AI agent and use it our self-host AI agent and use it our self-host AI agent and use it our workflows because Claude is so workflows because Claude is so workflows because Claude is so expensive. Lots of grammar issues here, expensive. Lots of grammar issues here, expensive. Lots of grammar issues here, but I think I get what you mean. So, the but I think I get what you mean. So, the but I think I get what you mean. So, the question is basically running local AI question is basically running local AI question is basically running local AI models. Well, this is what I'm like models. Well, this is what I'm like models. Well, this is what I'm like diving really deep into myself. And this diving really deep into myself. And this diving really deep into myself. And this is a very fascinating topic to me.

is a very fascinating topic to me. is a very fascinating topic to me. Currently, the things on my radar is Currently, the things on my radar is Currently, the things on my radar is Hermes agent. This is one of the the Hermes agent. This is one of the the Hermes agent. This is one of the the second things I'm going to try. Like, I second things I'm going to try. Like, I second things I'm going to try. Like, I use Claude. I have maximum subscription. use Claude. I have maximum subscription. use Claude. I have maximum subscription. Like, the thing is, you're already Like, the thing is, you're already Like, the thing is, you're already thinking about this the wrong way thinking about this the wrong way thinking about this the wrong way because you say Claude is so expensive. because you say Claude is so expensive. because you say Claude is so expensive. The truth is, it's not. Tokens are never The truth is, it's not. Tokens are never The truth is, it's not. Tokens are never going to be cheaper than they are now. going to be cheaper than they are now. going to be cheaper than they are now. Like, these companies are losing money Like, these companies are losing money Like, these companies are losing money on actual AI inference. What they're on actual AI inference. What they're on actual AI inference. What they're doing is they're making us dependent on doing is they're making us dependent on doing is they're making us dependent on AI development, heavily subsidizing our AI development, heavily subsidizing our AI development, heavily subsidizing our AI usage, and then in the future, it's AI usage, and then in the future, it's AI usage, and then in the future, it's already happening by the way, but in the already happening by the way, but in the already happening by the way, but in the future, they're going to raise the future, they're going to raise the future, they're going to raise the prices, and because nobody can code prices, and because nobody can code prices, and because nobody can code anymore, everybody needs these tools, anymore, everybody needs these tools, anymore, everybody needs these tools, then and then they can price it with then and then they can price it with then and then they can price it with however they want. So, the fact that you however they want. So, the fact that you however they want. So, the fact that you can just code for 8 hours a day for $200 can just code for 8 hours a day for $200 can just code for 8 hours a day for $200 a month is insane. Like, it is insane a month is insane. Like, it is insane a month is insane. Like, it is insane how much value you get, how much tokens how much value you get, how much tokens how much value you get, how much tokens you get for a ridiculously low price of you get for a ridiculously low price of you get for a ridiculously low price of $200 a month right now. And it's never $200 a month right now. And it's never $200 a month right now. And it's never going to be cheaper. This is why I am going to be cheaper. This is why I am going to be cheaper. This is why I am like squeezing everything out of it like squeezing everything out of it like squeezing everything out of it while I can because basically I can while I can because basically I can while I can because basically I can learn for free now. So, it is not learn for free now. So, it is not learn for free now. So, it is not expensive, and you should take the expensive, and you should take the expensive, and you should take the chance of learning it right now. That chance of learning it right now. That chance of learning it right now. That being said, if you do want to self-host, being said, if you do want to self-host, being said, if you do want to self-host, there is just so much happening here by there is just so much happening here by there is just so much happening here by the time I make any claims right now, the time I make any claims right now, the time I make any claims right now, this is already going to be outdated by this is already going to be outdated by this is already going to be outdated by the time this video comes out. But, what the time this video comes out. But, what the time this video comes out. But, what I am going to be doing, the next things I am going to be doing, the next things I am going to be doing, the next things I try is going to be the Hermes agent I try is going to be the Hermes agent I try is going to be the Hermes agent and using Qwen 3.6 35B as a local AI and using Qwen 3.6 35B as a local AI and using Qwen 3.6 35B as a local AI model. Okay, I'm a second-year CS model. Okay, I'm a second-year CS model. Okay, I'm a second-year CS student. I know well with Java, Spring

student. I know well with Java, Spring student. I know well with Java, Spring Boot, SQL, Go, Kubernetes. Average Boot, SQL, Go, Kubernetes. Average Boot, SQL, Go, Kubernetes. Average back-end developer. I have KCNA, KCSA. back-end developer. I have KCNA, KCSA. back-end developer. I have KCNA, KCSA. I'm planning to take the CKA exam next I'm planning to take the CKA exam next I'm planning to take the CKA exam next week. However, I don't have a job and week. However, I don't have a job and week. However, I don't have a job and any experience. If I want to apply for any experience. If I want to apply for any experience. If I want to apply for If I want to apply for a junior If I want to apply for a junior If I want to apply for a junior position, they are asking me 3 years of position, they are asking me 3 years of position, they are asking me 3 years of experience. I cannot stop thinking about experience. I cannot stop thinking about experience. I cannot stop thinking about what I need to do after CKA. Should I go what I need to do after CKA. Should I go what I need to do after CKA. Should I go for Kubes or not or build Kubernetes lab for Kubes or not or build Kubernetes lab for Kubes or not or build Kubernetes lab and some projects? Which way my chance and some projects? Which way my chance and some projects? Which way my chance of getting a job is higher? Even with of getting a job is higher? Even with of getting a job is higher? Even with Kubes or not, does companies hire Kubes or not, does companies hire Kubes or not, does companies hire without experience? Thank you in without experience? Thank you in without experience? Thank you in advance. Yeah, so this is very typical advance. Yeah, so this is very typical advance. Yeah, so this is very typical where I mean, you are a second-year where I mean, you are a second-year where I mean, you are a second-year student. You have lots of theoretical student. You have lots of theoretical student. You have lots of theoretical knowledge and you are doing well on the knowledge and you are doing well on the knowledge and you are doing well on the certification front. The thing is, it's certification front. The thing is, it's certification front. The thing is, it's absolutely possible to land a job absolutely possible to land a job absolutely possible to land a job without experience and people and without experience and people and without experience and people and companies do hire even if you don't have companies do hire even if you don't have companies do hire even if you don't have experience. But, the thing is that you experience. But, the thing is that you experience. But, the thing is that you cannot stop thinking about what I need cannot stop thinking about what I need cannot stop thinking about what I need to do after CKA to go for Kubes or not to do after CKA to go for Kubes or not to do after CKA to go for Kubes or not or Kubernetes lab. Like, the thing is or Kubernetes lab. Like, the thing is or Kubernetes lab. Like, the thing is companies hire skills, okay? Companies companies hire skills, okay? Companies companies hire skills, okay? Companies hire proof that you can do the work. And hire proof that you can do the work. And hire proof that you can do the work. And if you keep getting certifications and if you keep getting certifications and if you keep getting certifications and getting theory and theory, then you are getting theory and theory, then you are getting theory and theory, then you are never going to be able to prove to an never going to be able to prove to an never going to be able to prove to an employer that you can do the work. So, employer that you can do the work. So, employer that you can do the work. So, the short answer is yes. There are the short answer is yes. There are the short answer is yes. There are plenty of companies hiring junior people plenty of companies hiring junior people plenty of companies hiring junior people like this, especially with if you like this, especially with if you like this, especially with if you already have CKA skills. It is already have CKA skills. It is already have CKA skills. It is absolutely viable. Is there There is absolutely viable. Is there There is absolutely viable. Is there There is competition? Sure, but it's not competition? Sure, but it's not competition? Sure, but it's not impossible. I mean, it. I was a nurse impossible. I mean, it. I was a nurse impossible. I mean, it. I was a nurse without any experience and I didn't even without any experience and I didn't even without any experience and I didn't even have a CS degree. So, it's absolutely have a CS degree. So, it's absolutely have a CS degree. So, it's absolutely possible. But, the thing is that you you possible. But, the thing is that you you possible. But, the thing is that you you have to stop focusing on theory and

have to stop focusing on theory and have to stop focusing on theory and focus on creating proof that you can do focus on creating proof that you can do focus on creating proof that you can do the work. And the second thing here is the work. And the second thing here is the work. And the second thing here is that you need to learn how to get that you need to learn how to get that you need to learn how to get interviews and how to convert them. So, interviews and how to convert them. So, interviews and how to convert them. So, many people underestimate how many how many people underestimate how many how many people underestimate how many how much people skills you need in order to much people skills you need in order to much people skills you need in order to actually successfully land and convert actually successfully land and convert actually successfully land and convert an interview. And And is also why like an interview. And And is also why like an interview. And And is also why like the Kubecraft the Kubecraft the Kubecraft it is a complete curriculum because yes, it is a complete curriculum because yes, it is a complete curriculum because yes, we teach the tools, we teach the we teach the tools, we teach the we teach the tools, we teach the technology, but we spend so much time technology, but we spend so much time technology, but we spend so much time teaching you how to use LinkedIn, how to teaching you how to use LinkedIn, how to teaching you how to use LinkedIn, how to create a profile online that actually create a profile online that actually create a profile online that actually attracts recruiters, and how to get attracts recruiters, and how to get attracts recruiters, and how to get interviews, and how to behave on them, interviews, and how to behave on them, interviews, and how to behave on them, and how to convert them, right? So, just and how to convert them, right? So, just and how to convert them, right? So, just learning tools, tools, tools, tools is learning tools, tools, tools, tools is learning tools, tools, tools, tools is not the answer. You also need to learn not the answer. You also need to learn not the answer. You also need to learn the actual skill of searching and the actual skill of searching and the actual skill of searching and landing jobs. And this is why Qubits landing jobs. And this is why Qubits landing jobs. And this is why Qubits craft is so effective because we land craft is so effective because we land craft is so effective because we land jobs every single week. So, the answer jobs every single week. So, the answer jobs every single week. So, the answer is you need to create proof and also is you need to create proof and also is you need to create proof and also learn the skill of actually landing learn the skill of actually landing learn the skill of actually landing those jobs. And don't think that it's those jobs. And don't think that it's those jobs. And don't think that it's just learning tools and getting just learning tools and getting just learning tools and getting certifications that's going to get you certifications that's going to get you certifications that's going to get you the job in the end. Next question, the job in the end. Next question, the job in the end. Next question, step-by-step guide to becoming a DevOps step-by-step guide to becoming a DevOps step-by-step guide to becoming a DevOps engineer with its branches. The best one engineer with its branches. The best one engineer with its branches. The best one to get into as a junior with no to get into as a junior with no to get into as a junior with no experience job search to hunt for and experience job search to hunt for and experience job search to hunt for and everything. If you were to restart, how everything. If you were to restart, how everything. If you were to restart, how would you do it? Thanks. Okay, so you're would you do it? Thanks. Okay, so you're would you do it? Thanks. Okay, so you're asking me to give this full step-by-step asking me to give this full step-by-step asking me to give this full step-by-step guide in a Q&A video. The short answer guide in a Q&A video. The short answer guide in a Q&A video. The short answer is that that is not possible. I cannot is that that is not possible. I cannot is that that is not possible. I cannot give you the full path in just one video give you the full path in just one video give you the full path in just one video like this. Becoming a DevOps engineer like this. Becoming a DevOps engineer like this. Becoming a DevOps engineer with its branches, and actually the with its branches, and actually the with its branches, and actually the career of a technologist has changed a career of a technologist has changed a career of a technologist has changed a lot. Like in COVID, anyone who could lot. Like in COVID, anyone who could lot. Like in COVID, anyone who could write two words of code would get hired

write two words of code would get hired write two words of code would get hired almost instantly, but that has changed. almost instantly, but that has changed. almost instantly, but that has changed. And especially with AI coming around, I And especially with AI coming around, I And especially with AI coming around, I heard someone talk about this where they heard someone talk about this where they heard someone talk about this where they actually say that becoming getting a actually say that becoming getting a actually say that becoming getting a tech career is almost becoming more like tech career is almost becoming more like tech career is almost becoming more like a doctor these days where you have to a doctor these days where you have to a doctor these days where you have to commit to many years of learning, and commit to many years of learning, and commit to many years of learning, and also commit to staying relevant and also commit to staying relevant and also commit to staying relevant and keeping learning. And I I got to say, I keeping learning. And I I got to say, I keeping learning. And I I got to say, I have to agree with this that you cannot have to agree with this that you cannot have to agree with this that you cannot just do a six-week boot camp or watch a just do a six-week boot camp or watch a just do a six-week boot camp or watch a roadmap video and imagine that you're roadmap video and imagine that you're roadmap video and imagine that you're going to land a job. So, if you were to going to land a job. So, if you were to going to land a job. So, if you were to restart, how would you do it? Well, the restart, how would you do it? Well, the restart, how would you do it? Well, the first thing that I would do is I wasted first thing that I would do is I wasted first thing that I would do is I wasted months on trying to piece together my months on trying to piece together my months on trying to piece together my education from free blog posts and education from free blog posts and education from free blog posts and YouTube videos. And the first thing I YouTube videos. And the first thing I YouTube videos. And the first thing I would do differently is to invest in would do differently is to invest in would do differently is to invest in quality educational materials. There's quality educational materials. There's quality educational materials. There's good stuff on Udemy, but if you want to good stuff on Udemy, but if you want to good stuff on Udemy, but if you want to do this, then find someone who has an a do this, then find someone who has an a do this, then find someone who has an a public record of people landing jobs public record of people landing jobs public record of people landing jobs with him as a coach, okay?

Because I spent such me land this job. Because I spent such me land this job. Because I spent such way too much time and energy trying to way too much time and energy trying to way too much time and energy trying to piece it all together from free YouTube piece it all together from free YouTube piece it all together from free YouTube videos. That is how I would do it. And videos. That is how I would do it. And videos. That is how I would do it. And finally, the last question is platform finally, the last question is platform finally, the last question is platform engineering for future better for future engineering for future better for future engineering for future better for future opportunities as compared to DevOps. How opportunities as compared to DevOps. How opportunities as compared to DevOps. How do companies hiring for them? Can I get do companies hiring for them? Can I get do companies hiring for them? Can I get a job in IT at entry level? And also, a job in IT at entry level? And also, a job in IT at entry level? And also, what about opportunities in ML ops?

what about opportunities in ML ops? what about opportunities in ML ops? Okay, so this is a good question. Okay, so this is a good question. Okay, so this is a good question. Platform engineering, yes, it is better Platform engineering, yes, it is better Platform engineering, yes, it is better for future opportunities. Like what you for future opportunities. Like what you for future opportunities. Like what you see like there's a big trend happening see like there's a big trend happening see like there's a big trend happening where companies are increasingly where companies are increasingly where companies are increasingly adopting platform engineering as a adopting platform engineering as a adopting platform engineering as a methodology and creating platform teams. methodology and creating platform teams. methodology and creating platform teams. In many ways, platform engineer is In many ways, platform engineer is In many ways, platform engineer is basically the correct title for a basically the correct title for a basically the correct title for a successful DevOps engineering philosophy successful DevOps engineering philosophy successful DevOps engineering philosophy in applied to a company. The thing is in applied to a company. The thing is in applied to a company. The thing is that platform engineering is usually not that platform engineering is usually not that platform engineering is usually not an entry-level role. So, I would an entry-level role. So, I would an entry-level role. So, I would consider myself a platform engineer, but consider myself a platform engineer, but consider myself a platform engineer, but you can only be a platform engineer if you can only be a platform engineer if you can only be a platform engineer if you truly understand Kubernetes, you truly understand Kubernetes, you truly understand Kubernetes, internal developer platforms, knowing internal developer platforms, knowing internal developer platforms, knowing how to translate customer requirements how to translate customer requirements how to translate customer requirements into technical solutions, and building into technical solutions, and building into technical solutions, and building all of that on Kubernetes. Like all of that on Kubernetes. Like all of that on Kubernetes. Like Kubernetes has won there, so there's no Kubernetes has won there, so there's no Kubernetes has won there, so there's no doubt about that. Definitely companies doubt about that. Definitely companies doubt about that. Definitely companies hire for it. Can I get a job in it at hire for it. Can I get a job in it at hire for it. Can I get a job in it at entry level? So, yeah, I wouldn't say entry level? So, yeah, I wouldn't say entry level? So, yeah, I wouldn't say you can easily get a junior platform you can easily get a junior platform you can easily get a junior platform engineer job. Platform engineer is more engineer job. Platform engineer is more engineer job. Platform engineer is more like a direction that you aspire to. So, like a direction that you aspire to. So, like a direction that you aspire to. So, you would start with maybe a junior you would start with maybe a junior you would start with maybe a junior sysadmin role, you become a sysadmin, sysadmin role, you become a sysadmin, sysadmin role, you become a sysadmin, then you go into DevOps or cloud then you go into DevOps or cloud then you go into DevOps or cloud engineering, and then you go into engineering, and then you go into engineering, and then you go into platform engineering. That is a platform engineering. That is a platform engineering. That is a basically my view of the landscape basically my view of the landscape basically my view of the landscape currently. And finally, what about currently. And finally, what about currently. And finally, what about opportunities in ML Ops? There's so much opportunities in ML Ops? There's so much opportunities in ML Ops? There's so much opportunities. Oh my god, this is where opportunities. Oh my god, this is where opportunities. Oh my god, this is where I am currently, like I'm directing my I am currently, like I'm directing my I am currently, like I'm directing my personal learning and career towards ML personal learning and career towards ML personal learning and career towards ML Ops. I am building AI applications Ops. I am building AI applications Ops. I am building AI applications running locally on my own servers with running locally on my own servers with running locally on my own servers with GPU clusters, all on Kubernetes, and

GPU clusters, all on Kubernetes, and GPU clusters, all on Kubernetes, and building my own applications for that. building my own applications for that. building my own applications for that. Next my next step is going to be then Next my next step is going to be then Next my next step is going to be then training my own models and learning training my own models and learning training my own models and learning everything on how to do that on everything on how to do that on everything on how to do that on Kubernetes. So, and I'm doing that Kubernetes. So, and I'm doing that Kubernetes. So, and I'm doing that because there's tons of opportunities in because there's tons of opportunities in because there's tons of opportunities in it. So, yes, there's plenty of it. So, yes, there's plenty of it. So, yes, there's plenty of opportunities in ML Ops. It's a very new opportunities in ML Ops. It's a very new opportunities in ML Ops. It's a very new field. It's there's so much happening in field. It's there's so much happening in field. It's there's so much happening in it, so it's very hard to like see to it, so it's very hard to like see to it, so it's very hard to like see to tell you what to do or or or whatever tell you what to do or or or whatever tell you what to do or or or whatever because it changes so often.
