#176: Many people ask us what they need to do in order to start a career in DevOps. The usual initial question is “what technologies do I need to learn?” What if we told you that you shouldn’t necessarily start with the tech but with something else?
In this episode, we speak with Sashank Purighalla, CEO and Founder of BOS Framework, about the critical skills that every engineer should master in order to start and grow their DevOps career.
