It&rsquo;s true that I haven&rsquo;t worked in industry for a while, as I&rsquo;ve spent the past few years focusing on becoming an independent researcher. This post serves as a small piece of evidence for those who might question whether I still have the background knowledge or the ability to pick up practical engineering skills. Another reason comes from my experience working as a DevOps engineer. The work itself never gave me a headache: learning new frameworks and tools, building delivery pipelines, and configuring end-to-end integrations were all manageable. However, the job could sometimes feel frustrating. The quality of such work is difficult to measure and often receives little attention, so it is taken less seriously than the service or product it supports.</p>
