The Fourth Rule: No AWS

Ah, the classic cloud provider panic attack. Three identical red buttons labeled "Azure DevOps," "AWS DevOps," and "GCP DevOps" with a sweating person having an existential crisis below. It's like being asked which kidney you'd prefer to donate. The truth? Your resume needs all three, your sanity can handle none, and your company will probably switch platforms right after you become certified in one. The real punchline is that six months after mastering your chosen platform, management will announce they're "pivoting to a multi-cloud strategy" anyway. Just close your eyes and press one—the anxiety is the only constant.

Ah, the eternal DevOps dilemma! On the left, we have fancy cloud services with their shiny logos and enterprise pricing that makes your CFO cry. On the right, those dusty beige towers sitting under someone's desk that were "temporarily" put there in 2003. The beauty of those floor desktops? They're practically free if you raid the storage closet, they're ALL YOURS (no AWS outage notifications at 2am), and that sweet, sweet fan noise that sounds like a jet engine during compile time. Who needs expensive white noise machines? Sure, cloud gives you scalability, but nothing scales quite like the pride of telling management "we saved $10k this quarter by using Dave's old gaming PC as our build server."

The job market's final boss has arrived! On the left: a job description requiring mastery of 20+ technologies including AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, JavaScript, Python, Linux, security tools like CISSP and Palo Alto, plus NIST compliance and .NET. On the right: the actual job? Excel spreadsheet jockey. It's the classic tech industry bait-and-switch where companies demand you know how to build a nuclear reactor just to change the lightbulbs. The recruiter probably thinks "full-stack" means you can stack paper forms into a full pile.
