What Makes a Jenkins Course Essential for Software Developers? 

With the rapidly evolving nature of software development today, there has never been a more acute need for efficiency-driven, reliable, and automated processes. Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are now practiced de facto, enabling development teams to deliver quality software more quickly. At the heart of these practices lies Jenkins, an open-source automation server that has become a backbone in the DevOps universe. For coders who need to stay competitive and up to date, pursuing a Jenkins course is not only smart—it's necessitated. 

Understanding Jenkins and Its Significance 

Jenkins is an open-source automation server used to automate most phases of the software development cycle, such as building, testing, and deployment of applications. It orchestrates and coordinates various phases of the software delivery pipeline, and through this process, code changes are integrated and delivered smoothly. By automating all these tasks, Jenkins decreases integration problems, makes collaboration easier between team members, and shortens the entire development cycle. 

The Role of Jenkins in Modern Software Development 

Adding Jenkins to the development process has many benefits: 

Automation of Repetitive Tasks: Jenkins automates repetitive tasks like code compilation, test running, and deployment, allowing developers to concentrate on more intricate aspects of development.  

Early Detection of Issues: Code is tested more often with continuous integration, making it possible to detect and fix defects early.

Increased Collaboration: Jenkins encourages a culture of collaboration by offering a shared platform upon which developers can view code modifications, tests outputs, and deployment levels. 

Increased Scalability and Flexibility: Jenkins allows numerous plugins to work, hence the support for integration of several tools as well as computability with projects with various scales and levels of complexity. 

Why Enroll in a Jenkins Course? 

Although Jenkins is a very influential tool, learning its full capability requires systematic education.

An online Jenkins course has the following advantages: 

In-Depth Knowledge: Systematic courses impart thorough knowledge about Jenkins' functionalities, structure, and optimal practices to provide a sound footing. 

Hands-on Practice: Hands-on exercises and actual projects in a course enable developers to use theory in practice, consolidating knowledge and boosting confidence.  

Integration Competency: Integration with other necessary tools like Git, Docker, Maven, and Ansible is usually taught in courses, giving a complete picture of the CI/CD pipeline. 

Credential Acceptance: Passing a well-known Jenkins course can add value to a developer's resume, demonstrating their dedication to ongoing learning and competency in contemporary development methodologies. 

Spotlight on the "Jenkins - From Zero to Hero" Specialization 

The "Jenkins - From Zero to Hero" specialization on Coursera is a great option for learners who want a structured and thorough learning process. This four-course sequence is crafted to guide learners from basic concepts to advanced uses of Jenkins in real-world applications.  

Key Features of the Specialization: 

Foundational Learning: The first courses cover DevOps concepts and the use of Jenkins in CI/CD pipeline so learners understand the basics.

Practical Application: Students work on useful projects, setting up Jenkins environments, defining pipelines, and automating build flows.  

Tool Integration: Integration with tools such as GitHub, Maven, Docker, Ansible, and SonarQube is addressed in the specialization, mimicking industry usage.  

Advanced Topics: Advanced subjects like Jenkins Pipeline, distributed builds, and security settings are touched upon, gearing students toward complex projects.  

Flexible Learning: The course is designed for beginners and provides a flexible learning schedule, enabling learners to learn at their own pace without any prerequisites. 

By taking this specialization, developers acquire technical skills and place themselves in a competitive position in the job market, as Jenkins proficiency is in great demand in the industry. 

Conclusion 

Integrating Jenkins into your arsenal of skills is a good strategic step for any software engineer who wishes to thrive in today's accelerated development world. The efficiency, reliability, and automation of Jenkins to the CI/CD process cannot be valued high enough. A planned learning session of a standalone Jenkins course, such as Coursera's "Jenkins - From Zero to Hero" specialization by Learnkarts, equips developers with the right abilities to exploit the potent instrument judiciously.

Oscar my beloved and his babies!

Oscar has a luxurious and voluminous tail unlike many unicorns, which is originally due to his lineage where his father (totally not insane man) was a huge black horse.

Oscar has been mistaken for a woman before....he finds it funny.

The twins do not have much empathy, in fact, because of their origin, they are not good with feelings, they genuinely do not understand certain social norms, so if they like you it is honest and pure.

They don't need to eat, but they love sweets.

The twins don't need bodyguards, in fact they are their own guards, Oscar taught the twins to fight, punches, kicks and headbutts, they know self-defense and the art of a good hidden blade.

When Oscar isn't a brilliant father and a brilliant jewelry dealer, he's a magnificent therapist. (Inspired by the @kwillow Ambroys' drawing of ​​"asking for thoughts for beginners." My boy needs some actually good influence)

Oscar's daughters are made of jewels, specifically Alexandrite, and since they don't have bodies of flesh, their gem nature are the family well-kept secret...and thats why feelings are hard for them.

Thinking about how in the beginning Ambroys is a nusiance that Oscar tolerated only for his daughters sake, only for him to sit back one day look at Ambroys dead in the eye and go: "Ambroys, that's just trauma." and then out of nowhere he finds himself being the annoying golden unicorn's therapist....and friend. He makes a disgusted face everytime he notices it.

The twins can easily manhandle Ambroys thanks to the fact that they are gems, only if they want to....oh boy.

Oscar voice headcanon is: ENG voice for Howl Jenkins Pendragon from Howls moving castle....bc ofc it is.

Realizing she was developing an attraction to other women was both scary and exciting for housewife Clara Mannix. Pastor's wife Rachel Jenkins was the perfect "other woman" to push Clara's attraction past the fantasy into reality.

And so now, every Monday afternoon, Clara visited Rachel's bedroom for a new session of female love making. Rachel had taught Clara the importance of and the fulfillment one can feel when providing pleasure. Once she had guided Clara through her first session of licking pussy, she was hooked.

"May I go down on you now, Rachel? You know how much enjoyment I get out of that."

"Of course you may, Clara. I'd like nothing better. You're no longer a beginner, that's for sure. I sense the pride you derive from providing good lady head."

"Lady head; that's so naughty, Rachel. But yes, you have taught me so well. I count the hours until I can be between your legs and make you cum on my tongue.”

"I appreciate your eagerness and your devotion. Let's not make you wait any longer, hmm?"

wow a romance booklist that actually respects the genre

some thoughts:

pretty much all the historical recs are on point— Elizabeth Hoyt, Beverly Jenkins, KJ Charles, Loretta Chase, Laura Kinsale

This isn't a #booktok iist, that's for sure

There was another "best of romance" (possibly historical romance) list a couple months back that tended towards listing the first book in a series rather than the better book, except A Week to Be Wicked, by Tessa Dare (book 2 in the Spindle Cove series) somehow escaped this fate here when it didn't in that other list lol

HOWEVER I do think You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria and Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt aren't the best in their respective series. You Had Me at Hola is a fairly strong series beginner but A Lot Like Adiós takes the cake as far as novelty (friends to lovers done RIGHT), heat, and characters with diverse backgrounds (Mexican, Puerto-Rican, Italian-American rep, both are bi, both want to be child-free). And there are at least 6 Maiden Lane books that are better than Wicked Intentions imo. I never got past the first couple chapters of A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole, which was on this list and is also a series starter, but I wouldn't be surprised if the same holds true.

I'm veeeery curious about A Gentleman in the Street by Alisha Rai and The Magpie Lord by KJ Charles now, which is what lists like this should do! For someone who reads a good amount of romance, it's neat to discover older, interesting works by familiar authors

This list did a much better job as far as diversity compared to other lists of a similar ilk.

Reading log 3

March 2025

No Spoilers.

Books are in order of when I read them.

⭐-Favorite Reads of the Month

#1 Dead Girls Don't Dream by Nino Cipri⭐

5/5. This was so comforting to me and for so many reasons. First, the author being trans. I will appreciate any amount of representation I can find!! Second, the reoccurring themes of being seen as human and what makes someone human. And of course just Tom's character in general. He just seems so supportive and caring I think it may kill me. This book brought me so much comfort I'm actually in love.

#2 Diavola by Jennifer Thorne⭐

5/5. Just yes. This book really is something special and I love it so much.

#3 Ásatrú for Beginners by Mathias Nordvig

4/5. Very easy to understand, good for beginners or people trying to strengthen their understanding.

The cast play an online rpg game and Fushimi is the healer.

No one in that game is getting healed, Fushimi has better things to do than heal people who keep getting hurt by being idiots. Imagine S4 decides to do a fun bonding game night, Enomoto accidentally introduced the Captain to an online MMORPG and Munakata has decided that wouldn’t it be fun for them all to participate in one of these ‘raids.’ He wants their team to be perfectly balanced so he assigns everyone a role and somehow Fushimi ends up as the healer. Fushimi immediately complains because when did he agree to be part of this anyway and Munakata just smiles calmly as he says that the healer is the most important member of the team, and he feels it would be suitable for Fushimi’s talents.

Munakata sets the office up so that everyone can play the game in like a circle together, he thinks this will be a fun way for them to practice their teamwork. Munakata’s character is probably some kind of magical swordsman and he’s in the leader position, calling out strategy and making sure everyone remains in formation, with Awashima — who is definitely the tank — supporting him. The rest of the alphabet squad are members of various different classes, Enomoto is a little disheartened to see he ended up as the bard. White mage Fushimi is armed with a variety of healing spells and also his character happens to be equipped with various projectile knives for physical attacks, because he refused to play a character that’s totally unarmed, that would be stupid. 

They start the quest and it’s probably pretty easy at first, since this is the first session everyone’s pretty low level so they’re doing beginner stuff. At some point though they run into their first boss monster and now the one small flaw in Munakata’s plan becomes apparent. Barbarian Hidaka takes a bad hit and tries to get away from the boss monster, asking Fushimi to come and heal him. Fushimi clicks his tongue and is like ‘why should I?’. Hidaka’s like ‘you’re the healer…?’ and Fushimi says he’s too busy right now, you have potions heal yourself. Doumyouji’s paladin almost gets killed completely and he’s like Fushimi-san hurry, I can fight more if you heal me. Fushimi mutters that this is what Doumyouji gets for running in like an idiot. Awashima says Fushimi’s name warningly and Munakata says it is no trouble, he trusts that Fushimi-kun will do what’s best for the mission. Fushimi makes a face and grumbles fine fine, going to fix up Hidaka (he leaves Doumyouji down for a while though, because they’re doing better without him trying to Leeroy Jenkins the monster).

[scre-a-ming-cupcakes]

Spoilers Episode 8. You know what scene.

This will be a long one, I think. And maybe a controversial one, who knows. So buckle up.

Izzy's death was necessary for Ed's happy ending. It may shouldn't have happened now and not the way it did but his death was inevitable. I knew it from the end of season one, I knew it from the start of season two, I was hoping it wouldn't happen in season two but I knew it would have to happen at some point.

Blackbeard is the antagonistic force of the show. Not Edward himself but the legend. It's making Ed unhappy and it's torturing everyone around him (both metaphorically and literally). And at the end of the day Ed is the main character so it's clear that he will get his happy ending. And his happy ending is getting rid of Blackbeard forever. Izzy is too heavily linked to Blackbeard. He was Blackbeard. Like He said, "Blackbeard was us. You and Me." Blackbeard was Edward Teach and Izzy Hands. And now Izzy Hands is gone and so is Blackbeard. They buried Blackbeard with him. Ed is free. And he can now get his happy ending.

I have mixed feelings about his death. Like I said, I totally understand that Izzy needed to die. However, I don't like the way how he died. And I think it was too early.

Let's start with why it was too early.

I understand that David Jenkins was/is worried about not getting a third season and wanted to give the story a nice finish in season 2. However, I think it was a bit too much of the good thing. Because I genuinly can't think of a way the third season could play out and still be linked to the other two seasons. The main antagonist is gone. Yeah, that bitch Ricky is still out there and all. But as I mentioned, Blackbeard was the main antagonist. Blackbeard is dead. Ed has his happy ending, being free of the legend and piracy itself, having the chance to live a normal life with his lover. Where do we go from here? Why should we go anywhere from here? We got what we were building up to from the very first moment we met Ed. But we got it too early. If Izzy were still here in a third season then there would still be a reason for Blackbeard to be there and we could have more moments about Ed relapsing or struggling. The drama! You know, the good stuff. Of course, technically that could still happen in season 3 but it would make everything we got in this episode feel unearned.

Another thing I didn't like was the way he died. Instead of a heroic sacrifice it was an accident. Izzy's arc went from hating the crew to loving and protecting the crew with all his heart. Going from tormenting them to sacrificing himself for them would've felt nicer. Izzy's arc went from being annoyed at Ed being vulnerable to understanding and seeing Ed as he truly is. Protecting Ed when he can't do it himself for a moment would've felt earned. Izzy's arc went from hating Stede to seeing Stede as an equal and sees him as Ed's ticket to happiness. Jumping in front of a bullet for him would've proved that he puts Ed's well being over his own. Or anything more heroic than what we got.

Now enough of the bad stuff, let's get one thing out: The leading up to that moment wasn't ideal but the moment itself was everything I could've wished for. It was beautifully shot, beautifully acted and most of all beautifully written.

Let's remember where we started with. Izzy was the antagonist of the story; the villian, even. He was mean, cruel and hateful towards anything soft and open. Stede's gentle way of piracy, Lucius' open sexuality, Ed's sentimental self. In season 2 Izzy has suffered a lot. Like, a fucking lot! And he deserved the apology he got just like he deserved the love he got. However, we shall not forget why everything went to shit to beginn with.

"This is Blackbeard. Not some namby-pamby [...] pining for his boyfriend." And when he made Ed angry enough to snap, he was enjoying what he was seeing. Blackbeard was so important to him that he was gleefull to see the soft and gentle man turn violent in an instant.

"There he is."

Izzy was cruel to Edward. Edward was cruel to Izzy. Izzy got his apology. And for a while I was scared that this was it. Izzy got to move on from the cruelness he experienced at the hand of Edward but we all seem to forget that Izzy should apologize, too. Turned out, all I had to do is wait.

In Izzy's last moments he begs Ed to stay with him. He's bleeding out and he knows that he's done for. So he begs Ed to stay so he can apologize. He starts out with a simple and earnest "I am sorry." And what follows is beauty.

Blackbeard was created by the both of them. Both of them are Blackbeard. But they didn't create him for fame and reputation. They built him as a protective cloak against the cruelness of the world. Ed had gotten tired of wearing that cloak, Ed had wanted to see the world behind their protective wall and be himself. But Izzy was scared and forced him to stay put. Izzy made Ed miserable to protect both of them. And in return it turned Blackbeard against them.

Blackbeard became a bigger threat to them than help. And the cruelness Blackbeard was supposed to protect them from wasn't so bad once you had people by your side. Family that is soft and gentle and protects each other. Izzy wanted Blackbeard to go.

Izzy had wounded Ed badly, to the point where he thought Ed was gone entirely. That Ed was gone and he was only a shell that wore Blackbeard's face.

Ed used to have people who were ready to protect him from the cruelness of the world because of love. They hated Blackbeard for understandable reasons. But they knew Ed as well. And they love Ed. Izzy knew that.

"Just be Ed."

After those words Ed breaks into sobbing. Ed was there, alive and strong.

"You're born alone, you die alone."

That's the mind-set pirates grew up in. But Izzy wasn't alone. He was surrounded by a crew that became like a family to him. And he was in the arms of the person he cared about the most. Ed was crying, shaking and being the most vulnerable we've ever seen him. Something that Blackbeard never would've done. And in his finale breaths Izzy raises his hand and strokes the soft, teary face one last time and with so much love he gives us a parallel that shows us how much he has grown as a character.

"There he is."

I attempted to read various novels to break my reading slump, but none of the books I chose got me back on track. Not until one of my office's team leaders suggested "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo."

Author: Taylor Jenkins Reid

Publisher: Atria Books

Year Published: 2017

The Plot:

Evelyn Hugo is a headstrong young woman who aspired to make it big somewhere else than her hometown, away from her drunk father. When she finally spotted an opportunity, she seized it and went on to make a name for herself as an actor in Hollywood. She is at present being interviewed by a writer named Monique Grant. Evelyn tells her story and how she ended up with seven husbands.

The Likes:

It's an excellent book for getting you back into reading after a lengthy break. I would have finished this in one sitting if I didn't have work. The story's flow is extremely ordered for me; I didn't get bored in the middle of it. This book will have you guessing till the very end, and the plot twist is a chef's kiss, which is completely unexpected.

The Dislikes:

Nothing really, except for some of the characters.

The Overall Rating:

5/5 - A must-read for your reading list. It is an easy-to-read book (perfect for beginners) that will keep you interested until the very last page.

my current insane plan is trying to read 推し短歌入門 (an introduction to tanka through composing poems about your favorite characters) by april 19, 2023, the date of Hyper Misao's second produce show, because Misao loves tanka and i feel like it might make her day if her own wrestling work inspired someone to write tanka, so i want to read that book and learn the basics of writing them, then compose a tanka based on her show and post it on twitter (where there's a strong chance she'll see my poem).

the only problem is that i have a whole lot on my plate reading-wise right now, because TJPW is about to be in the middle of an extremely busy period, so there will be a big show that i’ll have to translate next week, and then their show in America, which will likely include a press conference that i will also have to translate, and i’ll be watching a whole bunch of other shows on top of all of that.

oh and also i still have yet to have actually finished reading a proper book in Japanese (just manga and a fair amount of digital text and a few books with a lot of English in them), so this one would be my very first finished Japanese book, and it’s quite a bit harder than everything else i’ve read. and not to mention i’ll be attempting to compose poems in a language i’m not at all fluent in.

what could possibly go wrong? 😅

the book is a little less than 90k characters total, and i have to read it at roughly a rate of 3k characters a day to keep up. this is fine when i have no translation workload. it’s substantially harder when i do. so far, i’m doing an okay job keeping up, but the real busy days will be the end of march and the first week of april, so i’m hoping to get a bit ahead now while i still can in case i fall behind then.

i am currently 22k/90k characters into it! roughly 1/4 of the way through!!

i'm actually enjoying the oshi tanka book more than i expected! it's LGBTQ-inclusive (the author used an example from The Half of It (2020 Alice Wu film) when talking about other ways to say "i love you" without using those words, and in the section i just read, there was a tanka that was explicitly about a lesbian relationship used as an example). it also cited Henry Jenkins, which shocked me, hahaha.

it feels honestly about as accessible for beginners as it can be (barring the language barrier). i feel like i'd be struggling more if i didn't have the little experience that i do have reading senryu (and composing a couple), since a tanka is basically a senryu/haiku with 14 extra mora. but i'm picking up on a lot of things from reading it, and i managed to successfully compose my first tanka:

半時間あなたと俺のにらみ合い空き会場を照らす火花だ

(inspired by this)

Navigating the DevOps Landscape: A Beginner's Comprehensive

Roadmap In the dynamic realm of software development, the DevOps methodology stands out as a transformative force, fostering collaboration, automation, and continuous enhancement. For newcomers eager to immerse themselves in this revolutionary culture, this all-encompassing guide presents the essential steps to initiate your DevOps expedition.

Grasping the Essence of DevOps Culture: DevOps transcends mere tool usage; it embodies a cultural transformation that prioritizes collaboration and communication between development and operations teams. Begin by comprehending the fundamental principles of collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement.

Immerse Yourself in DevOps Literature: Kickstart your journey by delving into indispensable DevOps literature. "The Phoenix Project" by Gene Kim, Jez Humble, and Kevin Behr, along with "The DevOps Handbook," provides invaluable insights into the theoretical underpinnings and practical implementations of DevOps.

Online Courses and Tutorials: Harness the educational potential of online platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udacity. Seek courses covering pivotal DevOps tools such as Git, Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes. These courses will furnish you with a robust comprehension of the tools and processes integral to the DevOps terrain.

Practical Application: While theory is crucial, hands-on experience is paramount. Establish your own development environment and embark on practical projects. Implement version control, construct CI/CD pipelines, and deploy applications to acquire firsthand experience in applying DevOps principles.

Explore the Realm of Configuration Management: Configuration management is a pivotal facet of DevOps. Familiarize yourself with tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef, which automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration, ensuring uniformity across diverse environments.

Containerization and Orchestration: Delve into the universe of containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes. Containers provide uniformity across diverse environments, while orchestration tools automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Integral to DevOps is CI/CD. Gain proficiency in Jenkins, Travis CI, or GitLab CI to automate code change testing and deployment. These tools enhance the speed and reliability of the release cycle, a central objective in DevOps methodologies.

Grasp Networking and Security Fundamentals: Expand your knowledge to encompass networking and security basics relevant to DevOps. Comprehend how security integrates into the DevOps pipeline, embracing the principles of DevSecOps. Gain insights into infrastructure security and secure coding practices to ensure robust DevOps implementations.

Embarking on a DevOps expedition demands a comprehensive strategy that amalgamates theoretical understanding with hands-on experience. By grasping the cultural shift, exploring key literature, and mastering essential tools, you are well-positioned to evolve into a proficient DevOps practitioner, contributing to the triumph of contemporary software development.
