Ask HN: Tutoring for SRE/DevOps?
I'm a self-taught learner who has been studying software engineering and systems administration for a few years now. I'd love to grow deeper in a one-on-one tutoring style, but this seems to be a limited market despite its proven effectiveness.
Does anyone know or have used a service to find tutors in these fields?
- dylanhassinger 4y agokinda hard cuz you need a distributed system to work on better approach might be to build your own project/mini-startup, then hire a little consulting whenever you hit a pain point
- LewisVerstappen 4y agoCheaper way to learn would be to do a little consulting for other people's mini-startups and figure it out on their dime.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoApply at startups until someone is desperate enough to hire you. Break as little as possible as you learn. Bounce as soon as you’ve reached a point where you’re no longer learning. There is no better teacher than experience. You can experiment in a homelab extensively, but it’ll never replace experience in a live distributed systems environment. I cannot stress that tests and peer review are crucial for high availability delivery. Use checklists, ask for feedback, it’s cheaper than outages.
