• ...you're solely focused on consuming information passively.
• ...you prefer solitary learning experiences and are not interested in engaging with others or participating in community activities.

My vision for The Server Room

I want to help as many people as possible to succeed in their engineering career. But I can't help you become a professional engineer with a pre-recorded course. I can't help you become a prolific software developer or system administrator with a single cohort-based workshop, either.

Having success in the IT industry requires constant learning, practice, and above all – time. Considering this constraint, the best way for me to support you on that journey is through an ongoing relationship in a place where I can share my know-how and experience with you for months or even years.

That's why, in The Server Room, I'm active in the forum and in direct messages every day. I host regular live sessions, for example open Office Hours and 1:1 member Hot Seats. In addition, I create and curate the best training resources I can, to help you grow your skills and practical experience.

This DevOps community of practice is where I'm able to apply my experience and insight to your individual needs and situation. And equally important – it's a space for us all to learn together.

Learn about best practices in software development, infrastructure ops, and team collaboration. Solve issues together. Get a bit of relief from the daily grind. Join our membership community and have fun learning with a great bunch of people!

Break the limits of solitary learning.

Collaborative learning is scientifically proven to be more effective and to yield more long-lasting results on personal development than trying it on your own.

• Accelerate your skill development. Content available exclusively in The Server Room enables you to quickly grasp new technologies and industry best practices.
• Enhance your problem-solving abilities. You'll learn to tackle complex challenges by leveraging the collective knowledge and diverse perspectives of our community members.
• Strengthen your innovative mindset. By exchanging ideas and discussing alternative approaches with your peers, you will improve your ability to come up with creative solutions.
• Develop strong teamwork and collaboration skills. Collaborative learning facilitates effective knowledge transfer within teams. These skills are particularly important if you want to succeed in projects that require coordinated efforts in diverse teams.
• Build a professional network. In The Server Room, you'll meet lots of DevOps practitioners who'll be happy to connect and can be of help with advancing your career.

Become more committed, motivated and accountable.

• In The Server Room, we highly value shared responsibility among peers, fostering an environment where team members feel collectively accountable for project success.
• Members of our DevOps learning community receive peer support and encouragement. We cultivate a sense of camaraderie that will help you stay motivated during challenging tasks.
• Getting real-time feedback from your peers will help you stay on track, make necessary adjustments, and ensures that accountability is not only about meeting end goals but also about continuous improvement.
• The interactive nature of The Server Room taps into your intrinsic motivation. That is to say, our members derive a deep sense of purpose and personal satisfaction from meaningful discussions, problem-solving activities, and shared successes within the community.

Access resources that are not available elsewhere.

The Server Room is a place where practitioners share their knowledge and experience. In addition to the asynchronous collaboration on the community platform, we also host regular live events.

• Office hours — During my live-streamed office hours, I answer questions posted to the community platform or asked live during the call.
• Hot seats — These are 1:1 conversations between me and one community member. All community members can join the call to ask questions or share ideas in chat.
• Community workshops — In these workshops, we drive a practical project from basics to production. Community members work together under my guidance to complete the project successfully. When the workshop is finished, every participant leaves with new skills and hands-on experience.
