Hi there, I'm Edson Bernardo dos Santos, and I've been working in the IT industry for so many years now. I am very proud to have known many good people on this journey. It's been interesting.

The idea of the blog is to share knowledge and learn and improve skills, hacks, and everything related to life and career. These are technologies that I have worked with.

I'm watching closely AI new features and possibilities.

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

I've been working massively with AWS. However, other cloud providers usually have the same concepts with different offerings. All you need to do is emphasize what is essential to run your business and your needs and make the right choice!

AWS - Amazon Web Services
Microsoft - Azure
GCP - Google Cloud

My thoughts:

For one, self-criticism. There are literally millions of far better writers than I will ever be. English is not my 1st language, so is my writing sufficiently readable, enjoyable even?

Can I find some original topics to cover, which don’t already have tons of brilliant coverage on other blogs or other mediums? And the list could go on forever…

But.

If I don’t expose my writing to critics, how will I get better? Who can give my point of view to topics maybe already covered? Could I even add something new to previous views?

Just to finish, I have some hobbies like music, writing, and I have to say , these last years have been crazy, and you should think about the things that really matter. Be safe happy 2023 for all of us.
