Leveraging Procedural Knowledge
summary
Asserts that procedural knowledge — not language trivia — carries between stacks and speeds learning, backing it with concrete moves: passed RHCE on second try after a 30‑day boot camp, learns Git and editors through repeated troubleshooting, and ships a small app then deployed prototype to Heroku and OpenShift. Timeline shows measurable payoff: a transition from workshop participant to Red Hat software engineer in five months, and current work contributing docs and OpenStack code while validating the process.
