## How to become DevOps and win at all the things
(incomplete)

This question comes up often here. As a Windows systems engineer that transitioned into a "DevOps" systems engineer (this is a very contentious title, but "systems engineer that IS DevOps" doesn't have the same ring to it) over about a year, I'd like to start a living FAQ/guide on how to get into this game.

I'm also posting it on Gist [here](https://gist.github.com/carlosonunez/83312c12f884444620a495ef60882945). I presume that I'll update that one more frequently.

# Materials Required

* A healthy love for learning (DevOps is very young and is evolving almost daily)
* Patience with being the "dumb guy in the room"
