The KubeCraft Newsletter

Hey Reader, I posted something inside the KubeCraft community. We're doing a 60 day sprint with even more intense coaching and support. I asked people if they were ready to lock in and start an intense grind to the next hiring wave that's coming in January. The comments started stacking up. 45 people have already committed. Here's what they're committing to. The KubeCraft Winter Sprint: 60 days to an offer letter. Most people treat the end of the year as dead time for their career. They sit...

Hey Reader, Are you looking for a job in DevOps or Kubernetes? If landing a tech job is one of your goals in 2026, keep reading, because I have something special for you. You're Invited On Tuesday, October 20th at 5PM CEST, I'll be doing a live workshop teaching the DevOps roadmap that I normally only use for my paid students. I'm going to walk through the roadmap that's been completely refreshed and updated for 2026. Because a lot has changed since the YouTubers made their roadmaps. If...

If you're learning Kubernetes right now, or you're going to learn it this winter, my new video is for you. In it, I show you the easiest and fastest way to get a Kubernetes cluster up and running. You see, most people set out on their Kubernetes learning journey, look in the Kubernetes documentation and find kubeadm. Or they watch some of my homelab videos and spend time setting up K3s. And that's the thing most people get wrong. Well over a thousand people have learned Kubernetes inside my...

Hey Reader, The way you prompt AI will decide whether you're employable in two years. Claude and Codex have solved the ability to write code in proper syntax and style. This has led engineers to lazily delegate all of the decision making. If you use AI in your development workflow and sometimes feel bored waiting for AI to complete, you're probably one of those engineers. There are two ways you can prompt AI to write code. Goal oriented - "Build me a web app that lets users upload files,...

Hey Reader, Me and my team have been working on something that I'm super excited to share with you: The KubeCraft DevOps Roadmap (click) As you know there are plenty of DevOps roadmaps out there. But they don't work. If they did, you probably wouldn't be reading this. These roadmaps won't land you a job because they're nothing more than a list of tools. To land a DevOps job, you need to do much more than learning tools. You also need to get interviews and convert those into job offers. The...

Most people trying to break into DevOps are studying the wrong 70 percent. You are grinding Kubernetes, stacking another cert, maybe rebuilding the homelab for the third time. Then you send applications and hear nothing back. Here is the part almost nobody tells you. Tech skills are about 30 percent of landing the job. Not 30 percent of doing the job, you need real technical ability once you are in. But tech skills are only 30% of landing the job. Think about the actual sequence of events...

For 12 years, I couldn't focus without smoking weed or drinking. I'm not exaggerating. At 16, I was smoking joints at 9 in the morning before school, because it was the only way to keep my mind still enough to learn anything. Today I'm 8 years sober, and I can hold my focus on one thing for 12 hours straight. That shift is the biggest reason I went from working as a nurse to a multiple-6-figure DevOps career, 110,000 subscribers, and two Microsoft MVP awards, all in the span of 5 years....
