- simonw 5y agoWhen I'm hiring I consider "I learned that on a side-project" to be an extremely strong positive signal.
- mason55 5y agoSure, people give me that answer all the time. If you actually went beyond basic setup and dealt with real enterprise/production level issues then make sure to point it out. I assume that “I learned it for a side project” means mostly happy path stuff.

All bonus points, especially if the company uses k8s or if you can answer aptly "why did you choose k8s?" FWIW, I'd expect 3 kinds of answers: 1. "This was a right fit because..." 2. "I knew this was NOT a right fit but I wanted to learn" 3. "I thought it was the right fit but I was wrong because..."
