DevOps Engineer | Learning in public
Sharing real-world builds, mistakes & fixes
Kubernetes • Docker • CI/CD
Turning complexity into clarity

[Jesse DevOps @pirezsylva]

If you’re a builder, developer, or engineer…

I’m documenting my journey into DevOps in public.

Not as an expert—
But as someone learning, breaking things, and figuring it out daily.

I’m looking to connect with people in:
→ DevOps / Cloud ☁️
→ Backend / Systems ⚙️
→ AI / Automation 🤖
→ Builders & problem-solvers 🛠️

What you’ll get if you follow me:
• Real-world builds
• Mistakes + lessons (no fluff)
• Simple breakdowns of complex systems

Because growth doesn’t come from watching…
It comes from building.

If that’s you — say hi 👇
Let’s grow together.

Dockerfile best practices every engineer should know. 🐳

[Jesse DevOps @pirezsylva]

used to think I needed to understand everything before I started building.

Big mistake.

One more course.
One more tutorial.
One more video.

But DevOps taught me this:

You don’t learn first, then build.

You build… then you understand.

Because the real learning starts when things break.

What’s something you kept overthinking instead of building?

CI vs runtime differences confused me for a while.

What’s the most frustrating pipeline issue you’ve run into?

[Jesse DevOps @pirezsylva]

Spent hours debugging my CI pipeline…

Thought it was Docker.
Thought it was NGINX.

It wasn’t.

CI environments don’t behave like runtime environments.

That was the bug.

Fixed it by isolating config validation.

DevOps will teach you this:

Real learning comes from things breaking.

This is something I’m still learning daily.

What’s been the hardest part of DevOps for you so far?

[Jesse DevOps @pirezsylva]

DevOps is not about tools.

It’s about thinking.

Anyone can learn Docker or Kubernetes…

But when things break—

That’s where the real skill shows.

• Debugging under pressure
• Thinking in systems
• Staying calm in chaos

That’s DevOps.

@MudassirKhan325 Hey! DevOps here

[Jesse DevOps @pirezsylva]

This confused me a lot when I first started.

What part of Kubernetes are you currently struggling with?

[Jesse DevOps @pirezsylva]

If you’re learning Kubernetes, understand this early:

Pods run your app.
Services expose your app.

If you can’t access your app…

It’s usually not the pod.

It’s the service.

The most dangerous job in tech isn't one that's hard.

It's one where you stop learning but keep getting paid.

You don't notice the decay until you open a job listing and recognize nothing.

[Jesse DevOps @pirezsylva]

DevOps Engineers promoting AWS DevOps Agents. Agents can’t replace you, it’s just here to make your job easier! What’s your thoughts??

[Jesse DevOps @pirezsylva]

@mischavdburg I completely agree with you 💯💯

[Jesse DevOps @pirezsylva]

As a DevOps Engineer, What are your thoughts on the AWS DevOps Agent that has just been drop?
