I recommend joining a Python meetup. It can be a simple way to grow your network and have free pizza and beer.
Now, with respect to cloud... it's not that hard to learn. If you have system administration skills it should not be a real challenge for you.
Now, people in the industry did not wake up one day and conspire to radically change how things work. It has been a gradual change over many years... that's why it's important to stay informed of new trends and technologies.
- landtuna 6y agoOh, I'm informed. But that doesn't make experience. And neither does a side project, really. And what side project needs cloud scale? The meet-up is a good idea.
- abiogenesis 6y agoMeet-ups may work. I met my current employer at a local Python meetup and got offered a position right away (I am 40+ too, by the way). I had recently moved to the area and had no contacts.
