Laryfrosh: I really want to know about this devops... Please let's connect if you don't mind
Bro I'm still finding my way also, it's not been easy but you can start with some of these videos to get an idea of it, before taking on any course. my plan is to break into devops with a remote job this year, but you'll hardly see any for entry level. If you can get a mentor, someone who is neck deep into it. This will help alot, I don't at the moment but one has to keep learning.
@op,I hope to talk to you some day. Keep the motivation going.
airsaylongcome: What's your day job about? Devops is an interesting field to venture into and I find that a lot of young Nigerian Tech Bros and Sis focus more on Frontend and Dev. What's your motivation for going into Devops?
I enjoy the thought process and logic that goes into creating pipelines from A to Z for processes that would manually require lots of human input. The Devops concept for me hasn't just been about the tools of the trade, which is something that's becoming evident since I started, it comes with a mindshift, no fire brigade method of doing things.
I work in I.T and enjoy problem solving and troubleshooting. My biggest issue has been finding someone ahead of me who can guide me while learning Devops. I didn't come from a programing background, so it's been gruelling and worthwhile.
Been following from your old diary, just before you changed its name. The ease at which you learn new things Is amazing, I'm still trying to learn devops, so I can transition into it before the year runs out, while juggling my 9 -5 job. Saw this link on a group I'm in. https://airtable.com/shrUtdozQzV0QNrFB Might be of interest to you.
Has anyone lost a close friend, because you were clueless about how and where to hang out. You want to go out but it's hard, now you lost the one person you feel understood it's a daily struggle to be out there? Let's discuss. Happy Sunday all..
Samehere, back in the university my friends would call me out of the blues for a hangout, I'll mentally play out the scene in my head and voila..I AIN'T GOING!!! But i had to work on that overtime, still a work in progress.
Trolls are terrible and one toxic aspect of social media. A great way to minimize their impact and existence is to not become one yourself. Here are a few things to be mindful of whenever you are engaging with someone online.
1. Imagine that that person is in front of you and think about what you were about to say. Would you say it to their face? If not, then it’s best to keep your fingers from typing.
2. Online interactions are prone to misinterpretations. Before posting anything, take a minute to think about what you are trying to say and construct your message in a positive manner.
3. Is it necessary for you to engage? Or is it better to walk away? Don’t stoop down to a troll’s level because honestly, they’re not worth your time. If a feud really needs to be addressed, then do so through private messages.
4. Being safe from trolls and from becoming one online means practicing kindness in all your interactions and working on letting things go.

It doesn't bro, i don't really care who smokes or not, my reply isn't and will never be about what you do, you fail to see the humor there. No be fight bros. I done carry the love. Y'all getting fired up for nothing ?
Theundertaker: Who else thinks introverts are born smokers we are actually the ones who love thinking , extroverts brain is two shallow for it ,, that’s why when they take it , it turns to something else , but introverts are mentally strong . We understand highness more than anyone, in our comfort zone , in our homes . Hving no one around as usual , lol , ignore my mistakes .
Lols, No bro, we don't understand highness. That one is a habit one picks up, introverted traits are mostly inherent biko. Don't call extroverts shallow too, not cool .
XhosaNostra: In a sense he was I'm a note-taker by nature, so I learnt a lot from that train wreck Relationships are a great learning tool about others & self.
Lmao, you're cracking me up. I can imagine him going off and instead of you reacting, you bring out a pen n paper noting down signs for possible diagnosis.
XhosaNostra: I wouldn't say I tried to understand him per se, I just have this natural curiosity when it comes to how people tick & tinker in general. He was a great case study & provided me with more material than I could ever need to revisit in a lifetime. His issues were that many.
Still commendable, lols making your ex sound like a specimen
XhosaNostra: What happened in that relationship from your teens? That could be where it all began. I knew someone who told me that he lost his 1st love because she was forced to marry someone else. I think that experience had a tremendous impact on him because he'd fight tooth & nail to avoid situations where he'd have to be vulnerable. He also CRAVED affection, but when he felt himself reciprocating, the inner conflict would start. I was often left feeling that he preferred any other girl to me. But of course that wasn't the case because he couldn't stay away either, when I'd send him packing. Sometimes I felt he resented me for making him feel because he'd do things to hurt me on purpose, so I'd break up with him, which gave him a fleeting feeling of relief, I guess. But he'd always return lol. He once admitted that he didn't like feeling out of control with his feelings, he preferred no attachments because that's the only way he'd have full control over his heart. It's almost like love embarrassed him if that makes sense. Like he felt it weakened him as a man or something like that. It's difficult to love someone like that. In contrary to their behaviour, they have a difficult time letting go. They're obsessive & stalkerish when they succumb to their emotions, even if it's for a brief moment.
I must commend your effort in learning to understand your man, i still have that inner conflict, and its evident when i feel I'm getting to attached to someone. Mine i tend to withdraw especially when I'm sure of my own feelings and not that of the other.
Liliantalks: did u even read my comment, did I specify that introverts are scared of rejection !! Like are u even okay ,, I think u guys misinterpreting my comment hv serious mental issue,, n that’s not my problem!!I don’t tolerate nonsense, thats me for you ,, there is nothing wrong with what I wrote. N yes he deserved to be insulted , just as u also , but u know what ? I will ignore you , cause if I insult you , u will hate urself and ur miserable existence.
And my dear I won’t even battle words with things like you about who’s introverts or not cause I know ur type and I may not want to pick up a fight with them but definitely they disgust me so much!!
I am an introvert and u can’t tell me shit cause I ain’t like u with ur bad character!! mingled with a lot of introverts in my school days . so trust me I know the disgusting ones just like urself.
You must even be scared of rejection , and hv serious inferiority complex while trying to decieve people around you !!
Aunty why na?, This is not how we make our points really.
xrayj: He should get lost Did he insult u? He only quoted your wrong points! U have been making snide remarks at that boy in all your comments & u talk about rudeness? I think u are new here on this thread or this may be your alternate. The funny thing is u keep talking about rudeness & I am sorry to say u are the rude one here! What are u even saying?? U don't even sound like an introvert! I just checked your profile & I must say your signature statement is very rude! Very unusual of introverts! This is a sacred thread for many, if u post any misleading info here, everyone reserve the right to quote u & correct it immediately! Let me correct some points you argued above; Introverts don't want many friends because they love spending time alone, not because they fear rejection! The greatest treasure of all introverts is their personal time! No true introvert joke with this! Introverts don't engage in meaningless conversations because they enjoy quietness, not because they are proud!
Some of you having self esteem issues should stop forcing yourself on this thread and causing problems here, this is one of the most peaceful thread on nairaland. I just can't imagine how someone will say his importance is based on likes he gets from Instagram or Facebook, so if there is no Instagram, u are of no value?? Someone said the other day his importance is based on a woman's acceptance?? Like wtf?? Many of u here aren't introverts, but people with personality disorder & self esteem upset like this one I am quoting now! Don't cause trouble here...
Liliantalks: oh please it isnt!!! Just stop this nonsense!! U hv bad character, introverts ain’t rude like you and ur fellow !! Wtf, hv u even read the thread!! U most swing ur rotten personality and blend it with introvertion. Most introverts are nice people , and listen they may not hv much to contribute but they will definitely listen. Not call conversations pointless cause u feel u need solitude. People like you are the reason people see quite people and call them proud and rude when they ain’t !! Stop pushing this ur rubbish agenda. I am not rude n I listen to my friends when they cm around.
MysteryGirl: First post on nairaland since I registered
I’m a bit jealous that some of you introverts are able to get into relationships .
I’m chronically introverted or you can just call me a recluse. Back where I grew up, my neighbors didn’t know I ever existed because they only saw my siblings and thought they were all my parents had lol. Got into the university and found it difficult going for classes or even leaving my room that one time I stayed indoors for 2 months straight and had my sister get me all I wanted. Years later, nothing has changed just that I have to be in school every day but after that I crawl back into my room.
Never been in a relationship because I’m not sure if I can cope in one and there’s nowhere a guy can find me to even ask me out . I’ve met a few though but I’m just not interested because I feel being in a relationship would be an invasion of my sweet quiet and private life.
Looking forward to making new friends here .
Hi female version of me, I think you'll find someone really, and only a serious individual will stick around. Your personality tends to filter out shallow minded beings. Going out is still an issue, but i try n the few times i did, it was cool. Didn't attend lectures throughout my 100 level except practicals.
They all come here to celebrate how awesome and great it is to be an introvert but deep down, that's all a facade.
Many here are married, have a good job but are still suffering from social anxiety. Many here have never made a single friend in their life, the friends they have made them.
...and y'all still think this is normal?
This thread should be focused on how to make people better. How to make people come out of their shell and face the harsh realities of life.
But what do we have?
I think the thread should be deleted. It has lost its purpose.
Ah ah uncle calm down now, no one here has claimed to be superhuman. We all have our good and bad days too.#NoBeFight#
dammypat: You nailed it sis, Introvert-introvert or ambivalent relationship is the best,The said guy in my write up was an extrovert, my staying indoor was literally a big deal to him,he thought I was abnormal,it was hard for him to understand my kind of person,major reason we couldn’t stay long,he was my opposite. I believe in introvert-introvert relationship,they’ll understand each other better,bring out the best in each and have a peaceful marriage
How do an introvert survive this nysc camp of a thing, cus I graduated last year and I’ll be joining the next batch. All through my university life, I stayed off camp and I lived alone, the thought of staying with so many people makes me feel terrified, like I can’t just survive there, I might just run home after few days, and I have been telling people around me that I’ll soon be leaving for camp, any alternative?
Lolz, you'll survive Had the same thoughts during my service year, las las the camp experience made brain than the main service itself.
DivineGrace123: Lol. I agree. When I read his post, I wanted to respond to it. But then, I just had to ignore. He made some valid points but passed his message in the wrong way using "inappropriate terms". When I got to where he said "they talk to me with so much respect, even those older than me that it baffles me. I still don't understand why"....I said in my mind..."Just by reading your post, I can understand why people talk to you with so much respect"...Lol.
Introverts think their words through before they utter them. We don't use terms we wouldn't want people to use on us because we are sensitive.
What he terms respect is what happens when one carry's with them an air of mystery which people don't understand yet, which is what he seems to portray at the moment. When they see the person behind the smoke screen, take a seat, a bottle coke and a bucket of popcorn and watch how the disrespect and jabs start to come at him, that's when he'll know if he was really respected.
Humans would always fear what they don't know..what they respect is the air of mystery around you not YOU!!!!!
A little lesson for him, be vulnerable and open for a week or two, let's see if he won't be tested/disrespected.
