Struggling to understand a concept? Take a breather and read this post
Early February, I was one of the girls onboarded in the maiden edition of shecodes Africa cloud engineering bootcamp.
It has been a beautiful journey acquiring knowledge and meeting other girls focused on achieving the same goal.
But while learning using the outlined curriculum, I hit a road block.
I had a struggle understanding Kubernetes.
I googled the concept, watched videos but nothing seem to make it click.
I would like to share on this blog, steps I took to overcome this situation.
First, relax
Taking a second look at that concept after a well deserved rest could just do the trick.
In my own case, I discovered that I had a knowledge gap in application deployment and this was the genesis of my problem.
Being in a bootcamp. I realized I did not have the luxury of time looking up answers on the internet, it could take weeks to finally discover even the right things to google.
I texted my mentor, Uche Nebedum , about it and he was patient and kind enough to address my questions.
I put a call through to a friend, John Agbanusi, an awesome developer. We spent hours on a phone call.
It worked like a charm, I took a second look at the concept and it did not seem like gibberish.
Perhaps there is a knowledge gap you need to address.
You are smart and lit! You got this!
