I recently came across a post on Reddit from someone looking to connect with other DevOps professionals. I reached out, and we ended up moving the conversation to Discord.

It's been pretty nice having a place where we can talk about things we're working on, exchange ideas, troubleshoot things, and share what we've learned.

But the conversations haven't really stayed limited to DevOps - which is actually what I've enjoyed most.

We sometimes end up talking about things like:

• How DevOps/tech work differs between countries
• Differences in workplace and engineering culture
• How people got into the industry and how their careers have developed
• Tools, practices, and technologies people are using
• Interesting things we're currently learning or building
• And occasionally just completely random stuff 😄

I'd like to meet more people from different parts of the world and have more of these conversations.

You don't need to be a DevOps expert or have 10+ years of experience. If you work somewhere around DevOps, SRE, cloud, infrastructure, platform engineering, sysadmin, or software engineering - or you're simply learning in that direction - feel free to reach out.

We're currently a small group, and we'd like to keep it that way rather than turn it into a huge server full of people who never talk.

If you'd be interested in chatting and getting to know some other people in the space, leave a comment or send me a DM. Happy to connect.
