1.Focusing on tools instead of concepts 2.Learning tools in isolation 3.Not doing projects (or starting too late) 4.Chasing only certifications 5.Being cheap with education 6.Learning only in sandbox environments 7.Following roadmaps blindly 8.Not building in public / being invisible online

This video should be shown to every junior or anyone else who is starting in the field, invaluable information that will help you tremendously on the long run.

Hi Nana. It's 2:30 AM. I'm an engineer with over 20 years of experience. After just one minute of watching your video and starting with mistake number 1: Focusing on tools instead of concepts, I have to say BRAVO! I'm tired of posts about tools, programming principles, but nowhere about concepts, the bigger picture of what we want to build or ultimately want to design. "Tools come and go. Concepts stay forever."

I’m French and try to understand english, but I dont know why, you are the only one I understand easily. 😊

I love your contents and teachings nana can’t stop watching your channel, what to say about someone eager and passionate to learn and break into tech but not committing to it. Thanks 😍

Thanks Nana!!

from Russia with LOVE 😊

Very good video! 🎉

we owe you so much nana sister even i also did some of these mistakes while learning devops at beginning focused on theories understand them but when come to exec cmds on cli boom struck with errors this we can learnt from this video: learning concepts is imp why this tool and why this error and what is the reason behind building this application and knowing whether can we integrate a new tool if it comes in the market does helps understand better than on tools to makes the task easy and a worthwhile one.

Mistake 1, Mistake 2, Mistake 3, Mistake 5, Mistske 8 All these mistakes you mentioned is in my learning path for devops. So yeah, most important is to build projects and learn cocepts. Also structured learning is very important. Thanks for the motivation, was a little bit worried when I learn a new tool, i will forget what I learn.

First comment ❤

One of the perfect video on making mistakes.... I shared this with much needed people

I graduated recently from B.Sc. CS and i took specialization as Cloud Computing, not one faculty ever taught me this; Thanks for the Suggestions.

you've been such a huge help on my journey, thanks again Nana

Interesting video! The title feels a bit exaggerated, but the advice on mistakes to avoid while learning DevOps is still really useful.

1.focusing on tools instead of concepts 2.learning devopds tools in isolation 3.Not doing projects 4.chasing only certifications 5. being cheap with your education 6.learning only on sandboxes 7. dont expect a roadmap to teach you devops 8.learning privately
