What does a Platform (DevOps) Engineer do? 🤔...(The PreLude)

Before I get into the hectic work life that comes with what a lot of you say you want, I want you to understand the backdrop of my life a bit. I have a wife of 3 years that stays home with our 1.5 year old baby boy. I have more than 1 job and I'm working on starting a new business.

Recently a friend's mother passed away. We've been friends since she moved in next door in the 4th grade. That funeral is this Saturday on September 30. My aunt that I found out was my mom's best friend...she's having her birthday dinner the night before. My mom passed in 2015.

The grind is real. I have had several nights with only 2 hours of sleep. I'm presently dealing with carpal tunnel and a foot injury as well.

I wrote all this to say, this is not the place to feel sorry for yourself and get sympathy. We're here to learn and push through at all costs.

SOME of what happened will be in a following post. Mainly because when you're in the middle of something this, it's like a frenzy. Ideas are flying all over the place, this person needs an update for that person.....it gets hectic. This is all from one job and again, it's not everything, but I'm hoping that creates opportunities for conversation and questions.

Here we go....
