      My point is, things in IT change drastically, and we all need to find efficient ways to relearn, switch paradigms and keep up. How do you guys do that?

      Well a lot of things on ML are shot down, because it's mostly SMB and what is familiar that is the focus here.

      If someone brings up InTune as a good way to manage 10,000 systems all over the world, that gets shot down. My opionion differs... InTune MIGHT not be the best option for a 50 user shop due to pricing, etc... but that doesn't mean it's garbage and someone should use NextCloud on a $2.50 VPS instead...bad example, but just making a point.

      So I think it really depends on what the focus is. Is it SMB only trends? Large enterprise? Both?

        Is ML only about SMB? Then I might have picked the wrong site to lurk on, haven't done SMB in years, and don't really intend to

          I don't think ML is officially SMB only. But I do know that most of the vocally active users here work in SMB.

          I'm trying to get away from SMB. I've had enough of it. But that's another discussion. However, I'll still be 100% active on here regardless.

            In the past year I've have to quickly acquire some base knowledge in quite a few areas.

            My strategy is first power through some Pluralsight videos. This gives me some familiarity with the theory behind the technology, and makes me more comfortable in planning something to do with it. I typically will not follow along with the videos.

            I then do my own project with the technology. This typically makes me think more about what I am doing than if I just followed along with a video.

            In reality, I would actuated prefer a book. I've used some books that effectively replace the two steps above. However, good books can be hard to find, and it feels like more of a waste when trying to use a poor book. And all the pluralsight series I have watched so far have been really solid. Also, it's easy to watch a video even if you aren't feeling motivated at the time.

              @flaxking Thanks, I'll see what Pluralsight has on the topics I need to catch up on

                I generally learn best by actually doing things. Which is why I rent a server to use for a home lab. I can go install stupid stuff and break things without caring all that much.

                  @dyasny So far my only complaint is that they are lacking in kubernetes related courses

                    There are WAY too many k8s related resources out there. Openshift is harder to come by, but only marginally

                      ML is one piece of the puzzle. Talking to real world people, tackling different problems helps to break out of the blinders mindset and start looking at the world from a "people have a lot of completely different challenges" perspective.

                        Yeah, K8s is not a place generally lacking in resources today. If PS lacks them, that can be easily remedied.
