A little over 6 moths in my current role as DevSecOps Engineer. Some days are the most uncomfortable I've felt in my life. This picture is a pretty accurate description of what it feels like learning some of the tools we use 😅 . But the knowledge and experience I’m gaining? 100% worth it.

In the market for a new mini pc (homelab). My current Beelink maxes out at 16GB ram 😭 . Any recommendations? I'm currently considering the following:

- Geekom
- System76 Meerkat

Don’t waste hours stuck on a task at work just because you think your question is ‘stupid.’ In my experience, as long as you can show the steps you’ve taken to find the answer, you’re good to go—ask, document and move forward.
