Hello together, I guess I'll use this opportunity to also introduce myself.
I'm Phil, 34 - from Germany. During my Physics B.Sc. from 2014-2018 I got introduced to the world of python for data analysis. In 2018 I started to build my own Desktop Workstation because I wanted to train Deep Learning Models myself and learn how this works. Linux and the CLI is my daily companion since then. ( The naive me thought he could get CUDA to run on ubuntu with little to no prior linux experience ...and with this the steep learning curve took off and I went down the Linux rabbithole) I think it was the ubuntu update to 22 LTS that broke my machine - which made me switch to fedora. I still keep a healthy dose of paranoia and my dotfiles in a bare repo, but I saw a stack overflow ( I think) post once, that someone just "YOLO's" the fedora upgrade to a new version and it always works. Which is also my experience - never had problems with fedora ( Thank you guys, for everybody that has been contributing since then) Regarding (hopefully helpful skills): Over the time I - Started to get some web-dev with react/nextJS and typescript under my belt. - Became more proficient in shell scripting, switched to zsh. - Became more proficient in cronjobs, processes, system admin in general. - Learned software design pattern, commit guidelines, Jira, etc. - Got some rudimentary understanding of K8s ( I am well aware that a single udemy course means nothing :D ) -I currently build up a Homlab-Serverrack which lead to further knowledge in VLANs, routing, and the OSI-model in general. By Contributing I hope to learn more about CI/CD, pipelines, AWS, and project management in general, and hope that I can give some back of what fedora gave me the last years. My next big Learning-Milestones are GO & Rust for creating Services on my future homelab cluster and building performant and deterministic CI-pipelines + gaining deeper system engineering knowledge. Looking forward to collab with and learn from you guys. PS - Tudor: That's not intended to be a comparison here. I wish I had started at your age. If you have python questions, feel free to hit me up.
