I generally agree with:
>"Successful DevOps practitioners don't get paid to write code or configure servers. They get paid to solve problems."
However, I'm curious how your miniseries ties this in. You're starting with what is, ostensibly, rote technical knowledge. How do you convey/teach things like:
- navigating abstract problem spaces
- owing deliverables to cross-team non-technical stakeholders
- responding to severe outages in highly complex, large-scale distributed systems
- designing operational processes to make said outages easier to deal with
Skills I've generally found incredibly important to have, but hard to teach absent the experience of dealing with them in the first person.
- ciguy 6y agoTotally agree on all counts. I run a more comprehensive course which covers the tech but then gets into hands on clinics with simulated outages where we break people into teams and have them troubleshoot under supervision and mock interviews, sample real world style projects they have to design a deploy pipeline for an app etc....
