VMUG - My Journey to Full Stack Engineering
4 likes•1,532 views
This document discusses full stack engineering and the journey of learning new skills. It recommends becoming proficient in distributed version control systems like Git. It also suggests setting up a public code repository, contributing to open source projects, collaborating with others on projects, and sharing knowledge gained. The document encourages taking risks and working at the edge of uncertainty to grow skills, and provides links to additional resources.
![Your reward for learning [code] is the
improved ability to control and automate the
many technologies it integrates with. You can
use the same set of commands to filter,
export, redirect, modify, extend, and perform
actions against output for all of these
technologies.

- 10. There was just one tiny issue
- 13. Inspiration for Change It can come from the weirdest places (Don’t ignore your gut)
- 26. “You do not grow on a secure path. All of us should conquer something in life. It needs a lot of work, it needs a lot of risk. To grow and improve you need to be there at the edge of uncertainty.” - Francis Mallmann
- 27. The “New” Full Stack
- 29. My laundry list DVCS – Distributed Version Control System Continuous Integration Public Repository Contribution Talk to APIs
- 30. Your reward for learning [code] is the improved ability to control and automate the many technologies it integrates with.

- 33. Learn Git Distributed Version Control System (DVCS) “Why You Should Embrace Version Control for Operational Artifacts” “How to Setup and Configure Git Shell for Private Scripting Projects”
- 37. Set up a Public Repo GitHub, BitBucket, etc It’s the new resume / curriculum vitae (CV) Portal into your brain!
- 40. Contribute Something https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/13657# Scared the heck out of me Met Gordon the Turtle Learned what a cherry-pick was Learned why you should sign your commits
- 42. Build Something with Others https://github.com/rnelson0/vCenter-roles Tickled my brain on Connect-VIServer placement JSON format discussions
- 44. Build Something for Others https://github.com/rubrikinc/PowerShell-Module CI with AppVeyor Unit Testing with Pester How to handle a Pull Request Semantic version control
