I’m an English teacher who wanted to “cut the cord” wherever I could, so I started learning about domain hosts, containerization, .yaml files, etc.
Since then, I’ve been hosting several pods for file sharing and streaming for many years, and I’m currently thinking about learning kubernetes for home deployment. But why?
If you aren’t in development, IT, cyber security, or in a related profession, what made you want to learn this on your own? What made you want to pick this up as a hobby?


What I’ve found works well is giving it a prompt to turn it into a tutor (along with giving it the information) if something doesn’t seem right, look into it without AI, I haven’t had it backfire on me yet. I can definitely respect someone avoiding ai entirely though.
