Hey everyone! I didn't expect my previous post about offering to fix infrastructure issues in 48 hours to blow up. It got over 220,000 views and 180+ comments, plus around 70 DMs! I've spent the last couple of weeks helping folks out with a range of issues, from weird CI bugs to Terraform headaches and K8s problems. Some just needed a little guidance, while others were dealing with major messes. Out of this, about 12 people reached out for legit work, and I've been working closely with 3-4 of them on various infra projects, which has been a solid experience. Now, I'd love to hear from all of you: **If you're currently facing any infrastructure or DevOps challenges, please share!** I'm also curious about what tools you all are using daily. Anything you can drop, even just a quick one-liner, will help me spot patterns across different teams. I'm still here and willing to help out!

This is fantastic to hear! Are you considering forming an LLC or moving into contract work in the future?
Do you need more hands on deck? I'd be keen to help out with something similar!
That's great to hear! I'll keep you in mind if this grows into something more organized.
I get your excitement, but why not show some evidence of your success? Many people don’t struggle for jobs because their skills truly speak for themselves. What's backing your claims?
I totally understand your concerns. I didn’t mean to come off like I have all the answers; I'm just eager to learn and improve. I get how that could come across, though.
I’m curious too! What specific dumpster fires are you tackling with your experience?
It's awesome to see you making it work! I honestly thought your offer was just a gimmick, but it's great to see the community respond positively. Keep at it!
Thanks! I really appreciate that. It means a lot.
Some folks were just asking about how to exit vim, though... LOL!
Are you getting paid for your ongoing work, or is it all volunteer-based?
Not entirely. A few have been generous about payment, which was unexpected since I just wanted to help out.
That could be a possibility! I'm definitely thinking about it, just taking things one step at a time.
