Hi, my name is Ezach, but I go by Zak. I will get better at this so I will not write too much before I look at this post a couple of years later, and just die inside.
I am switching career and teaching myself to become a cloud engineer. I have been consistent on my own and I needed that validation for myself before I start putting stuffs out there. But now, I think I am ready to learn more. This journey has been very exciting for me and I think that is why I have been a bit more consistent by myself, no pressure or running away when things got hard. I started with Linux and I am glad I did because I learned it with Bandit Game from OverTheWire and it was a journey. I loved it, and towards the end things got really really exciting that a lot of obstacles became a reason for me to push harder. Anyways, my point is, I am here now, my name and picture is out there now, so please advice and feedback are more than welcome because that is probably the main reason for me to be here. Now I’m continuing the journey through systems, Python, and cloud engineering. I’ll mainly be sharing post-mortems, how I reason through problems, what breaks, what surprises me, and how my understanding evolves. If you are on a similar path or have walked it already, I'd love and appreciate learning from you.

The simplest advice I would say is to find a community -- usually on discord (where you are comfortable and don't feel dumb) but still get to learn a lot.
A big part of my journey was the friends I made in some of these communities :)
Yeah, heard a community is good and it helps. But you know, gotta build the courage to be out there. Thank you for the advice, I am sure I will find a great one and I will join
