Sure!

I could say that this journey has been a bit scattered. I heard about Docker more than one year ago, but I didn't set up to properly learn and build apps with it ever since. I just learned it passively, aiming to only understand the concept. Right now, I could say that I'm quite familiar with it, especially because I got some opportunities to get my hands dirty.

I've also been very curious of how such tools work under the hood and this was also a great chance to learn Go. I believe this also helps me improve my Linux knowledge(which I heard is kind of necessary in DevOps space).

Recently I've started dabbling a bit more with docker-compose, while keeping an eye out for other interesting tools like k8s, Terraform, Ansible, Kibana, Prometheus, which I have almost no idea what they're used for, but I can't wait to see where they fit. I also heard that being acquainted with a cloud provider is also something good to have. I'm also curious about metrics, which at the moment I know nothing about.

Regarding my next steps, I'm trying to take on DevOps-related tasks at my job too, while learning about practices and tools in my free time(which is kind of hard to find while studying in college :) ).

I find this space very interesting and I think it contributes to my goal of becoming the best developer I can humanly be.
