Greg Keener posted thisI'm happy to announce that as of today, I am officially CompTIA Network+ certified, finishing up my IT Operations Specialist track! I'd like to give a huge thank you to CompTIA, Amazon Career Choice, my instructor Michael Sletten, and everyone at both organizations who made this course possible. I'd also like to thank Joelle Szyszka and Teresa Varela-Lauper for all their support of my fellow #Amazonians and me as well as their behind the scenes work on this course and making it possible.

Greg Keener posted thisFor my fellow Amazonians, Amazon Career Choice has a great IT Operations Specialist course coming up next month. The course is provided via live online training from CompTIA and provides the training and knowledge you need to become #comptia A+ and Network+ certified. I'm in the last few weeks of the Network+ portion now. It's been great so far, and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor.

Greg Keener posted thisI just enrolled into the #onwardtoopportunity program with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families - IVMF. Can't wait to get started on training for the #ccna! I definitely recommend checking out this program to any of my fellow veterans out there that are looking for a great program to learn new skills or enhance the ones they have.

I prefer Svelte over both of them. If I HAVE to choose between the two, it’s going to depend on the current project.

It really is a great program. I used it to get back into IT after a long break. Used the IT job to fund finishing up my CS degree, and now I’m a mid-level software engineer in the same company I got into in no small part because of the Career Choice - CompTIA partnership.
Hard to believe it all started with picking items in an Amazon FC around five years ago.
Teresa was and remains awesome.

Greg Keener Thankfully, I do trust my current team. However, that has not necessarily always been the case (back in my Army days, and a story for another time). Being able to trust your team is great, but you still have to perform as a team if that trust is missing.

Greg Keener liked thisGreg Keener liked thisThe newest generation of software engineers is the weakest I have ever seen due to the learned behavior of just getting the perfect answer immediately. It's true that StackOverflow exists, but the code there is almost always very scuffed. You needed to put in the effort to understand it and clean it up. But now, AI will usually give you decently optimized code upfront when it comes to basic coding tasks. Now here's the problem - No tech company will pay you just to do basic tasks. They want you to solve hard problems that AI struggles with. Software engineering has never been about just the answers. It's about being someone who intricately understands the entire process to derive the answer. This is what it means to be truly independent, and it's the core signal companies use to evaluate junior engineers, both in interviews and on the job.

Greg Keener liked thisGreg Keener liked thisThese past couple of months have been a fun ride for me with Juniper's cert program! Originally, I intended just to give the JNCIE-SP beta the good ol' college try because I was curious to see what was inside of it! I found the tasks and the technologies to be the perfect balance of challenging, fun, and relevant. Didn't necessarily expect to pass it, so when I did, I decided to push my luck and see how far the train went! Scheduled the JNCIE-ENT for the next open JNCIE exam slot (they pop up more than once in a blue moon, but still not that often!) and passed it too! Surely, this stroke of luck wouldn't last three tracks, right? Certainly failed the CCIE enough times to give me that impression LOL. So, I scheduled the JNCIE-DC lab to see what it was like and, by some unknown force of the universe, passed it too! 5 months and 3 expert certs - fun? Sure! Would I recommend that schedule to anyone? Nope! Depending on your pain tolerance, these are fun exams, but you'll inevitably leave the 8 hours feeling absolutely exhausted and ready to dream about unicorns and rainbows for the next 12 hours! For any of my fellow JNCIE/expert lab candidates out there (still working on my CCIE!), some tips that I'd like to proffer: 1) Before lab day - as you're studying, focus on speed, efficiency, and the human fact that you won't remember everything off the top of your head. Get used to Ctrl-F'ing through documentation and looking through tables of contents to find what you need! At the same time, though, focus on being able to quickly identify the rough, big-picture solution to common issues (e.g., routing loops with mutual multipoint redistribution), even if you need to take a minute to think about the small implementation details. 2) During lab day - stay organized and keep track of the tasks you've already done, the tasks you've saved for later, the rough timeline for each section, and any interdependencies between tasks where you can kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, by knocking out both tasks at once! Good luck! Oh yeah - and thanks to Stefan Fouant for being such a great proctor! You're kinda a cool dude 😉
