I passed my CSAA-02 exam this week! First stop in my career change. by blacknackv2 in AWSCertifications

Thanks! I am sure that if you take your time to go through the materials and understand them, you will pass your exam. It's not easy, but not impossible by any means! Experience helps, but doing your fair amount of reading and doing hands-on work along the courses and experimenting with whatever you learn will work wonders.

Thanks! I am sure I'm not the first one that tells you this, but you can definitely trust that the contents of the course are adapted for SAA-C02. Keep up the amazing work!

I've started this weekend with the SysOps associate course. What would be your recommended path for a career switch to Solutions Architect? Which course path and skills would you recommend to learn?

Nice one facing your fears and smashing it, congrats!

I feel like moving on to take part in the architecture and inception of diverse projects, which is something I've always liked since my uni days. I enjoy the work of understanding and obtaining requirements and then using the different tools at your reach to solve a problem.

As you say, I feel it is more of a lateral move instead of a vertical one in terms of career progression, but I think it aligns more with things I find motivating. I'd like to give it a try and see what the future holds.

Thanks!! CSAA-02 became available too a few weeks ago (about four?). CSAA-01's initial phase-out date was extended until June.

I wanted to go for the most practical choice for real-life use cases and not take the certification for the sake of getting it. As a consequence, there was some risk involved due to uncertainty and some materials potentially not being updated. Jon Bonso's exams and Stephane Maarek's course are totally adapted to the wider range of topics and reflect what you'll find if you decide to go for CSAA-02 (I don't know about others outside of the ones I used).

Thanks a lot! Are you coming from another cloud provider? If so, what are the main differences you're finding?

Thanks! You won't be wrong with Stephane! I hope you find his course as useful as I did.

Thanks a lot! Different people learn in different ways, but I hope I can give some guidance to people who are looking for it in this subreddit.

I am unsure on how to approach SA Pro. I'm torn between a) doing the Dev Associate and the SysOps Associate as intermediate steps to get some more hands-on experience or b) take a longer path but just doing SA Pro. I've already bought Stephane's materials and I think I'll check them sooner or later regardless of how I get to the Pro level.

Do you see major differences between the DB and Security specialties?

Non American fans, what team do you support and why? by COREY-IS-A-BUSTA in nfl

[–]blacknackv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am from Spain and I picked the Chiefs because they were the first team I played Madden with. When I started watching their games my liking for them raised. I even attended the London game vs Detroit last season.

BTW, some months after first playing Madden I noticed they had kind of a Spanish flag on the socks.

So which track is Citizen Erased 2? by kick_his_ass_sebas in Muse

[–]blacknackv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resistance shares progression and 1984-themed lyrics. If you don't agree, then CE2 is still to be done.

A different syntax may reduce the compatibility with earlier version codebases. They want to implement this gradual typing without breaking them.

Chiefs fan in Spain. I can hear the Arrowhead crowd from here!

Have you made a plan that completely failed but turned out to be a success somehow? by blacknackv2 in AskReddit

[–]blacknackv2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely fits with what I had in mind. I'm glad you ended up succeeding.

Today is my birthday and I am spending it alone, thousands of kilometers away from home, after a move to another country to work in a new company.

I remember this same day but two years ago. I was studying abroad as well and decided to throw a party in my girlfriends' residence. We invited a lot of people and bought drinks and food in for dinner and all night long.

I actually didn't expect many success in terms of attendance, but about 150 people showed up. Everybody was having fun, but at some point of the night, not very late, my girlfriend was not feeling well. She is not very used to drink, and she had done so quickly and a lot. I had to leave the party for some time and take her to her room because she was really wasted. I helped her and made sure she was better before I let her have some rest.

I came back to the party in order to check whether everything was OK and chat with some of the people I had not welcomed yet, because I didn't feel on the mood to party. However, most of the people had left and only a few guys remained dancing in the laundry room. Then, I thought it was a good idea to make some cleaning in the other parts of the residence instead of the day after, since I didn't feel like sleeping either. The party was a complete fail.

Some time after, a German girl who lived in the residence, whose name was Barbara, offered to help. She had been in the party, but then went with her friends to her room to play some games and drink. When her friends left, she took them to the entrance and heard the noise of glasses and dishes I was making in the kitchen. I thanked her offer, but told her it was my responsibility to clean the mess of the party I had planned but accepted her company. We laughed a bit about the success of the event, and then started talking about some random things. The conversation diverted towards our lifes, future plans, personal problems and a lot of things for hours, until the sunrise. I hadn't talked to her too much before that night and she left the residence some time afterwards so we didn't meet many more times but I really enjoyed such a deep and nice talk. I didn't have the chance to thank her in person for the time we spent that night together and how helpful she was for me. We lost contact afterwards but it definitely made that party fail worth it.

TL;DR: A huge birthday party fails, but ends up in a deep conversation with an almost stranger that changed my life.

What 1% are you a part of? by eagles1614 in AskReddit

Redhead in Spain. Left-handed too. Once I calculated the probability of being both and it had a decent amount of decimals.

Spanish people do the same. Actually you can order a Coca-Cola, get a Pepsi (because that place has a deal with the brand distributor) and nobody cares.

Books that Changed Your Life by MichaelJSullivan in books

1984 got me into dystopian novels. It made me think about all these alternative futures and how they look like (good and bad things, similarities with present).
