I went on a first date yesterday. We were discussing remote work, and she spent ten minutes criticizing Microsoft Teams (I've noted the feedback). Then she asked me what I do for work. She didn't take back a word... A second date is coming soon because that's a real one.

alright a few things since this went viral:
1. I work at MSFT but not on the Teams team. I'm in devrel and feedback is crucial so always open to it :D
2. The amount of people assuming I'm a dude is funny. I'm not.
3. I'm cohosting VS Code Day! Register please :D

If I had to learn cloud from scratch in 6 months, and gain a jr cloud engineer skill set:
- 6 weeks Linux and networking basics.
- 6 weeks learning to code.
- 8 weeks learning a cloud platform.
- 4 weeks some devops practices.
Lots of projects at each phase 😊

Here's my advice to get into cloud without a degree. This is what I did to go from earning $15 an hour selling iPhones to working my way up to a 6 figure base salary at one of the most well-known tech companies. If you're looking for something quick, skip this—it ain't easy money
If I was starting in tech today I'd take any tech related job and build from there. I'm talking Best Buy Geek Squad, Apple Store selling iPhones, or a call center doing live tech support, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't let my ego stand in front of my money.

I’d encourage more people in tech to create YouTube channels and just brain dump your knowledge and advice. The space is in dire need of voices from current and actual professionals vs. maximizing for engagement.

If you're looking for a hands-on cloud project that covers all the pillars of cloud:
- CLI usage.
- Programming.
- DevOps.
- Cloud Platform.
- Documentation.
Look no further :) I made this project concise but enough to get you going with several skills in a few hours' time.

One of the biggest lies people say about getting into tech is that you need passion for it. Passion is something you develop the more you fail and succeed at something... not something you're naturally born with. No one suddenly wakes up one day thinking "omg I love JavaScript".

Instead of advising people to "get hands-on". I'm going to start to point them to documented projects they can build. I realize simply saying "get hands-on" to a beginner has become generic and not really actionable advice.
