Hello everyone 👋
I’m Mohd Yusuf, and this is the beginning of my DevOps learning journey.
I’ve completed my engineering, and as a fresher in tech, choosing the right path can feel confusing. There are so many options—development, testing, data, cloud, cybersecurity…
And for me, DevOps stood out.
One honest truth:
I never really liked DSA.
Not because it’s useless, but because it never felt natural to me. I was always more interested in how systems run in real life—how applications are deployed, monitored, automated, and scaled.
DevOps felt like the right fit.
Not just as a role, but as a mindset.
So, this blog marks Day 1 of my journey into DevOps—learning, building, failing, improving, and sharing everything in public.
💡 Why I Chose DevOps
I realized that modern software isn’t just about writing code.
It’s about:
Deploying faster
Reducing errors
Automating repetitive work
Making systems reliable
Working better as a team
DevOps connects development + operations, and that balance really excited me.
I didn’t want to just build projects.
I wanted to learn how they run in the real world.
That’s why DevOps.
🧠 Does Not Liking DSA Mean I’m a Bad Engineer?
For a long time, I thought:
“If I’m not good at DSA, maybe I’m not meant for tech.”
But that’s not true.
Tech is huge.
Not everyone needs to be a competitive programmer.
Some people are great at:
System design
Cloud
DevOps
Testing
Data
Security
Networking
And that’s okay.
Everyone has a different strength.
Mine lies in practical systems and real-world engineering.
🌱 Starting as a Fresher (The Reality)
Let’s be honest.
As a fresher, I don’t know everything.
Sometimes I don’t even know what I don’t know 😄
I’m starting from:
Basic Linux commands
Git & GitHub fundamentals
Simple shell scripts
Cloud basics
CI/CD concepts
No shortcuts. No fake expertise.
Just honest learning.
And that’s okay.
📖 Why I’m Learning in Public
I decided to learn in public for three main reasons:
1️⃣ Consistency
When I share my progress, I stay motivated.
2️⃣ Better Understanding
Teaching or writing about something helps me understand it better.
3️⃣ Community
I want to connect with learners and professionals who can guide me.
This blog is my digital notebook.
