An unexpected journey

This is my first blog post

How it all started

I have worked with ops and consultancies for more than 19 years. My breadwinning skills are EUC and Deployment, as well as a broad knowledge in Microsoft tech. I learned a lot of valuable skills from experience as well as fellow tech bloggers and youtubers.

Time to learn something different

4 years ago, I decided to make the first big change in my work platform. Exit Windows, enter MacOS! A whole new world was there before me. After getting through the steepest part of the learning curve, I installed Homebrew on my Mac. A whole new galaxy of Open Source tools and productivity boosters was in my hands!

The Micro!

Managing my customer environments as well as documenting and communicating cause a lot of repetitive motions with the mouse. This was taking a toll on the tendons in my right wrist and shoulder. Something had to be done to stop this.

The Terminal and Keyboard Shortcuts were the silver bullets. In the beginning I was dog slow, but as time progressed a become more productive and the tendonitis was gone.

Pragmatism

I use whatever gets the job done. Mostly, I write and code in Neovim using different languages. *VsCode*** and **Microsoft 365 apps** have great features also, and I use them a lot.

Exploring the Dark Side of the Force

After many years of Ops, working with automation made me more curious about Dev and DevOps. I look forward to learning more and share with my fellow geeks.
