I’ve noticed a few challenges:<br> -Sometimes I’m unsure about the correct learning order or what to focus on next.<br> -I start labs and practical exercises but often leave them unfinished.<br> -It’s hard to determine when I’ve truly “mastered” a topic.<br> I’d love to hear from you about your experiences:<br> -Where did you get stuck the most when learning DevOps?<br> -How did you maintain consistency and discipline in practical labs?<br> -How do you decide that a topic is fully understood or completed?<br> Any tips, strategies, or workflows you’ve found helpful would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> devops learning career productivity
