Stories inspired by the game:
First story was really good. The oneās after that were okay.
AWS book is decent, more of a general overview. 2019 Iām getting the Certified DevOps I think.
Hmā¦ With my train commute, I might consider this. Do you get like a book a month or do you buy them as you go?
I do the 2 per month sub (aprox $12 per book) and frequently run out
The trick is cancel sub and re-activate or they allow for 3 more credits for the same price after a certain point

LOL. Brilliant!
Weāre on the same page (heh) on a lot of things, I see:

I can recommend the making of the atomic bomb was a good āreadā

What is the difference between the Certified DevOps and AWS Certified Solutions?

First off, I messed up! That book was the Archive, Legacy of Blood is the first book. It has four total!
Certified Solutions goes through all the services that AWS provides. Itās the āfirst certā in the AWS path.
Then, there is Developer, DevOps, and SysOps. Developer goes over web services and applications, so deploying software, Lambda, things like that. DevOps goes through CloudFormation, Elastic BeanStalk, the āDevOpseyā stuff. SysOps goes over the security and networking, plus all the other stuff. Itās the hardest of the three, Iāve read.
Then thereās the Architect, which is basically building the best of the best.
They have niche exams, too. Like Advanced Networking, Securing AWS, etc. But those want the big certs as a prereq, I think.
Ah, makes sense. Thatās how I watch Linux Academy and Udemy lmao.
I might have to look into the DevOps and the Certified Solutions. I use those things you listed in my job.

For my shitty classes they use Testout.com and i watch those a 1.7 those guys talk so fucking slow (wouldnt recommend them, but my school uses them so no real option)

Yup, same. Itās good to have. There is an entire recruiting/consulting firm nearby that specializes in JUST AWS engineers. So the market is really good. Padding the resume with certs never hurts. Hell, even if you read the book and learn the material without taking the test itāll still do you a world of good, imo.
Damn, thatās rough. Itās better than sitting in the class live, though 
Being able to fast forward, I mean.

Your mother had no complaints when I read to her last night.
Octothorpe bucket list. I can relate. The college administration was always telling me the starting salary for my degree and I would have to tell them āI make more than that nowā¦ā lul.

Out of curiosity why did you choose to purchase/get that e-reader over say the Kobo, Nook, Kindle, etc.?
TL;DR: Didnāt want to get kindle coz I donāt wanna support amazon +DRM. Couldnāt get Kobo without shipping. This one was available local and has great stats. I can upload books unto it without any DRM.
