Its 2023 and its already one day old now 👴🏻
Which important skill have you planned to learn this year or this month or this week ?
Cloud, Devops, Python, Blockchain, JS ?
Let me share a note with you about me!
I am an IT professional with 9 yrs of experience and working as a Lead Cloud Architect in a Denmark based firm.
On a daily basis, I have to deal with Devops & CICD pipelines tools like Bitbucket pipeline/cicrleCI & Jenkins, Managing K8s clusters using Kops, sometimes writting python code in Django framework for projects, working on AWS cloud infra and different IAM roles and policies.
When i list down these skills and tools which i am working right now, trust me i have full faith that they wont be in my resume in next 5 6 months.
The biggest skill you can learn in 2023 is “Learn to Learn Fast⚡”
The pace at which the market is changing, its impossible to just know one or two skill and stick to it for years. Those days are gone.
Tools & Languages are getting older in just 2 3 months being in market.
You have to adapt to this rapid changing world. But how ?
My 5 tips on Learning “How to Learn Fast” 👨🏻💻
Its all Mind game. Prepare your Mind to STOP Fearing from Changes.
The first thing your mind will say to you is “Shit its a new toll,it will take 2 3 months to learn it, its not possible what your Team Lead is saying”. You have to Overcome this fear of change.
When a new tool comes infront of you, say “It’s just a tool, i have experience of something simillar like it. I will learn it quickly.”
Stop wasting your time on its theory part.Start implementing and start to Fail Fast.
“If you Fail Late, remember you will Pass Late as well.”Follow proper course, material, community, pages, writters to be aware what changes are happening in market.
It will sound oldy, but trust me, its all about “Either You Control Your Mind OR the Mind Controls You” 🤷🏻♂️
_Let me pin down some current hot skills in market:(Acc to my experience)

🔥Cloud: Go for AWS as it has max market share, so more openings,more rejections,more selections chance.
🔥Blockchain Developer: Learning JS will be helpful.If not in Blockchain then as a developer its in full demand as well.
🔥Devops: Docker,Kubernetes,CICD tools(Bitbucket,CircleCi,Jenkins),Terraform.

Just open your mind and thoughts🔥

From my side i am trying to decode complex topics like cloud, devops, security in simple manner by linking them with our daily day-to-day things we do.
