The Curious Engineer#
Welcome, my name is Pedro, an aspiring Cloud Native Engineer from Los Angeles.
In this website, I share my thoughts and learnings predominantly about technical topics such
as Kubernetes, Linux, DevOps, and Cloud Native Technologies. I personally have a lot of interests,
so although most topics will be predominantly about tech, I hope to branch out to some side topics
following the idea of a “T-shaped” approach.
I am big on Neovim, Zettelkasten, and any other technical study techniques or thinking methodologies
that help me to become more efficient and improve in my output and, hopefully, contribute to humanity’s
collective wellbeing.

To fix this, I went to my Home folder in my Root user, entered my user’s home folder, and commented out the sway startup script, rebooted, and now I have a blank TTY screen.

I took the time to finally revamp my main website. Prior to the live one, I used one that focused on my career history and a short biography.
It lacked the features that a Blog should have, especially one that uses it’s base to index all of one’s writings.
So, here is how I did it.
I went over to https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod/wiki/Installation and followed the steps. That’s it.
So go do that!

Today was the day (writing a day later), where I purchased my Kubestronaut Exam Certificates.
I paid exactly $822.50 for all 5 cerificates. Phew.
I am not in an amazing financial space. These are going on the credit card. Well, to be honest, my wife’s credit card.
I don’t talk much about my finances. It isn’t the most fun conversation. But my dear wife, who I do not know where I would be without, sees something in me that I also have a hard time seeing.
