Courses​

My main study material was the "Kubernetes Fundamentals (LFS258) which I do not recommend. It had a lot of misaligned information due to bits and pieces of the course material being updated, so the examples and some content didn't line up correctly or make sense.

Enjoying the docs? Good.

The docs are the how. The newsletter is the what... as in, what the f*** — AI, power, Big Tech and the tech industry, through a Pasifika lens, from an engineer who's spent twenty-plus years working inside the machine. Fortnightly. No filter.

Leave whenever.
