Don't take this personally, but this is super naive.
I have over quarter of century of experience and I am far, far from knowing everything. And even if I do, it is still useful to sometimes find materials that present the information in an organised way.
When we talk about people applying for jobs... you would be surprised. Majority candidates don't know more than a small portion of it. The best you hope is they are good at couple things and then know something about a lot of others.
I would say, looking at this site, if a person actually knows, understands and had experience with most of these things in their career (without using resources like this site), they are likely already well above SRE level.
- diarrhea 3y agoWhat’s above SRE? You mean Senior or higher or managing/tech lead?
- onetimeuse92304 3y agoThere is a lot of things to if you have good grasp of technology a company runs on and you are intelligent and able to work on some complementary abilities. Which is what you should be doing -- there are diminishing returns in learning more technology, but you get huge returns from learning completely new skills that are complementary. Most of those things rely on some additional management/leadership skills. Yes, manager, tech lead, architect, startup co-founder etc. That's natural, because that's how you get more leverage to have more impact/return for your skills. But that's not the only way to make more money. If you don't like management path you could, for example, become highly paid consultant.
