I have a strange place in this world. I'm not in the tech sector - but I want to move there. I am a nurse. I will admit I've been around as long as technology (not really, but I was born in the early 70s). I've seen some sh!$, and I was taught years ago (before the advent of windows) to disassemble and reassemble hardware. I know about tape drives and rooms with climate control. I have progressed with technology and I genuinely believe that what happens in tech innovation also happens in other parts of the world. This does not stop me from being a nurse - but I recongize there is a world bigger than me out there. Arrested DevOps has helped me really embrace these things in ways I never expected. For instance, I could tell Max Stratton that I'm a SysAdmin at heart. He'd probably say Bull Sh!t, but in the best possible way! I started listening to episodes from #1, but about 2 years in, I fast forwarded to present and started to work my way back. I look at the early episodes as "historical documents" and they are invaluable. I am looking to move into some sort of tech sphere (I have a Masters of Nursing in Informatics, though I have only worked directly with patients). For me, the information expands how I currently view the world (as one where siloes need to be removed) and where practice meets theory. Whether you are in healthcare or strictly IT - this podcast is gold.
