Top 5 articles from my blog from 2018

Cross posted from my blog.

2018 has been an eventful year for me personally. Started blogging regularly, left my development job of 4 years, relocated, started a role at Accenture, AND passed 4 AWS certifications. As I sit here now on Dec. 26th looking forward to sitting for the AWS Solutions Architect Professional (hopefully) by the end of Feb., then heading to Japan for 2 weeks in early March. Busy year has been busy.

Enough of that, here's the top 5 articles from my blog based on popularity:

I really dislike people misusing names. 'DevOps' is one of the most abused...

A game changer concerning browser testing.

Pew, pew, pew. Load tester.

Caching is very very very important.

Sadly not as popular a package as I had hoped. Still neat though.

If you have any topics related to Automation, Cloud, or Programming let me know in the comments below. I'd be happy to spread any knowledge I have to anyone interested.

Great post! Thank you for sharing your knowledge in all things devops, CI and CD. You’ve clarified all those things I was curious about but never asked.

Looking forward to reading more from you in 2019 :)

I write and develop pretty heavily in web automation and build automation. Which is an impressive way to describe "scripting what I'm too lazy to do by hand." Perhaps we could collaborate sometime 😁😁
