After university, I was searching for a job. Quite quickly, I came across interesting Linux engineer positions. After a while, I interviewed with Undev company for Kirill Mokevnin's team. I wasn't hired as an admin (the vacancy was specific to video surveillance), but I did land a position as a junior Ruby on Rails programmer.
That's how I started programming full-time. I had a three-month probationary period, during which a mentor conducted training sessions with me. His advice and constant peer reviews allowed me to quickly enhance my skills, and even before the end of the probationary period, I was switched to the first commercial project. There, my Git skills came in handy, and it was then that I first encountered Docker. Compared to Vagrant, the concept of running software in lightweight containers seemed revolutionary. I'm very pleased that Docker has become an industry standard. However, back in 2015-16, I had to explain to people why containers were cool. Overall, during this time, I actively grew as an engineer, and good colleagues instilled in me practices that became commonplace. Regular reviews, a genuine interest, and much more contributed to my development. |
