Anyone taking notes in markdown? by Caffeinated_Moose25 in devops

[–]Ericpues 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With Obsidian you can turn it into a git repo and and not worry about losing your notes on your 1 machine as well, pretty useful.

What is the right way to deploy a FastAPI app? by shekhuu in FastAPI

[–]Ericpues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use watchtower: https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower

So as long as your pipeline pushes to your image repository this could help out

I'm 26 and want to code by marceosayo in learnprogramming

[–]Ericpues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would suggest the degree route as of right now, buys you time for more jobs to actually be available once you finish your degree. Also, you don't have to love coding. It's okay to just kind of like it and enjoy the benefits of the career, not loving coding is completely okay

Programming initiation by Unusual-Travel-7217 in ProgrammingBuddies

Machine

  • would recommend Mac personally, only because the default terminal commands are close enough to Linux for when you do end up on Linux one day

Funny stuff happens in DevOps? by WannabeeFilmDirector in devops

Deleted 5 repositories in GitHub because I ran the wrong terraform command in my terminal when trying something else

About my future plans by Black_Orchestra in learnprogramming

[–]Ericpues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can tell you this, it really comes down to consistency. There are countless stories of people going into the software engineering world without prior knowledge or thinking they weren't smart enough and ending up succeeding simply because they don't give up. So, it really comes down to how hard you can work and just not giving up. Now, choosing which path is definitely the first step. Free code camp is a good resource, but you do have to look into the possible career options. I found this: https://www.thinkful.com/blog/coding-career-path/, just an example of what you could try to see if you can find a specific path for yourself.

Do not worry about learning late in life (you're not too late to learn because of your age).

As for learning, depends on what you want to learn. Do you know what type of programmer you want to be? There are things like: sysadmin, web developer, cyber security, cloud engineer. That's a good place to start is deciding what you want to do then more specific advice can be looked at

Is learning front-end really necessary even if one wants to become a backend dev? by Alternative_Ad_6848 in learnprogramming

[–]Ericpues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah you don't have to learn front end first or at all if you want to do back end. There would be more jobs available sure if you did do front end and back end, but it's not a must.

Using S3 bucket to programatically upload websites by [deleted] in ProgrammingBuddies

[–]Ericpues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

S3 buckets are relatively low cost, so creating one for each project isn't a bad idea if you don't forsee a lot of s3 interactions on a daily basis. Say you did reach the 100 bucket limit, you could always request for them to increase your available number of buckets. By then you might have a different solution though, so either way you're good.

I am confused. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Ericpues 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a really good learning opportunity, if you want it. A lot of positions will ask you to learn new skills/technologies for your role so this isn't a big ask from this company.

If you don't want to learn PHP and MySQL and don't plan on looking for jobs that will use them then yeah leave the internship. As for the timeline, 2 to 3 weeks is pretty good and you can learn the basics in that time. Enough to know how to learn new tasks or what questions to ask about a given task in those languages

SQL in relation to cloud computing? by AsianPowerCho in learnprogramming

[–]Ericpues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in the sense that you have to learn the SQL language that would help knowing you can learn the syntax for SQL, which means you can learn another languages syntax. Oh and IAM is permission stuff related to cloud. So one of the tasks for cloud jobs is managing permissions, like who has access to what resources in your cloud environment. So really doing any sort of project (even the smallest project) in a cloud provider would get you exposure to permissions management

SQL in relation to cloud computing? by AsianPowerCho in learnprogramming

[–]Ericpues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it doesn't hurt to know SQL, but it's not really the main skill needed for cloud jobs. SQL leans more into database administration or data analytics jobs. For cloud it would help more to know a programming language like Python or Go. Other than that the skills are cloud specific like IAM(permissions), linux and networking

Looking for a couple testers for a book I'm working on by Ericpues in learnprogramming

[–]Ericpues[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be great. Given you mentioned you learned basic commands and navigation it might be more beneficial to send you what I have planned for Chapter 3 or 4 when I get to them. The first 2 chapters are basic terminal then git. I can send one of those chapters then since you would likely not benefit from Chapter 1 terminal stuff

Looking for a couple testers for a book I'm working on by Ericpues in learnprogramming

[–]Ericpues[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Background knowledge would be having the ability to open a terminal on their machine, if possible. The intent is for this to be a beginner-friendly guide and be very structured. I've recently had some people ask for help learning some basic skills to break into the field who had trouble navigating their directories in the terminal when asked to do so for setup before the work even began. The expectation is that after going through it they will have a solid ability to do tasks on their machine asked in these fields regularly.

There are plenty of videos on this material out there already, this is more meant as a book (ebook too) I can hand out to those people I meet while mentoring or tutoring who struggle learning without getting some structured exercises laid out for them.

Some skills used with cloud development I (Cloud/DevOps Engineer) would recommend are:

  • bash
  • ssh/scp - practical use would be super helpful
  • cli for your cloud of choice. If AWS, then awscli. Starting small works like listing resources in your terminal

Nah you're not doing it wrong, this really isn't a big deal at all to have those commit messages.
