Python, because of the plethora of libraries.

@Diogo Costa It’s actually a funny story, I found Mischa for his Zettelkasten and Obsidian videos on YT and sure enough because of those I came to his KubeCraft Skool. Learning how to learn was paramount for me, yes even at my age and so late into my career I would even argue especially because of that. But now imagine you’re hired as a junior DevOps engineer (you maybe starting out or pivoting to DevOps like my self) and you are sat in the same office with a Staff engineer, not just any Staff Engineer but the most down to earth, judgment free, extraordinary human being that also happens to have gone through what you’re going through in his career, and he proceeds to then show you exactly how he got there and how he learned it and what he learned? I’m severely oversimplifying this. On top of this, you get to meet Sammy, that overnight turned my LI engagements from 1 a month to about 5 recruiters a day. I’ll be honest I haven’t ever publicly spoken about this but I think it matters here, I’ve become ill 10 years ago and over the years it’s gotten a bit worse for me with a rather annoying chronic condition one of the biggest issues that it causes is severe brain fog, imagine you’re a capable energetic, fairly intelligent and enthusiastic IT guy and then suddenly you forget things and can’t remember the words for things immediately like you used to? On top of it all your whole family well being depends on your job? Well, that’s why I had to learn or relearn how to learn in my case. Lastly, at my current job I’m a Sr Infra engineer fully remote last few years (due to my condition) I was casually pivoting to DevOps to prepare and position my self for further career moves so I can guarantee being able to work from home, I was studying got my self KodeKloud membership, other courses etc etc, but it only took a week of Mischas classes here to teach me kubernetes (not an expert yet no) and at the same time I get a enormous k8s deployment thrown at me at work (my first ever) but guess what? I’m ok I actually know this, I’ve done this in my homelab from Mischa’s class. But aside from all that, the fact that we have meetings with Mischa and Sammy AND access to the other likeminded professionals that help you along the way, can you really afford not to grab this membership? I apologize for any grammatical errors and brevity I am typing from my phone with both my kids yelling in my ear 😁 (school is out indeed) But listen if you have any questions please feel free to DM me . Always open .

I’ve been using BitWarden hosted and pay the $10 a year sub. Love the lightning fast sync between devices, OTP and secure notes capabilities.

Thank you everyone for your feedback

Getting my CCNA was a game-changer. Even though I earned it later in my IT journey, it quickly became the most valuable in terms of daily application networking fundamentals, troubleshooting, and core concepts I rely on constantly. That said, my MCSE was the most consequential certification it opened doors, shaped my career trajectory, and validated my capabilities early on. Together, they built the foundation I still stand on today. I believe almost all certifications add value. No, they don’t guarantee a job especially not in today’s market, but they offer structured learning, sharpen your skills, and give you a clear goal to work toward. That alone makes them worth pursuing.
