> A piece of unsolicited career advice: at the work place, continue being enthusiastic about software technologies and keep opinions on infrastructure close to your vest.

I am a solo developer at a startup and at some point I'd like to be able to develop a full software product on my own, that entails code and infrastructure. My apps right now were all B2B apps which worked perfectly fine. The "biggest" app I've built was a cashless app for a festival with ~6k visitors and that went perfectly fine with a single server.

I never worked in an environment where infrastructure was handled by a dedicated person.

Ill take this advice to heart once I work for bigger companies again though.

tbh you can go pretty far with just cloud VMs and virtual networks.
