From e8ed8a3ec8735da2895dde7d321e83f75e02e107 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kristian Klausen <kristian@klausen.dk> Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2024 19:41:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Make the Junior DevOs program mandatory When you become full DevOps you are basically handed the keys to the kingdom, for this reason alone, access should not be given too easily. Making the Junior DevOps program mandatory will ensure access is given out in incremental steps. The pair programming requirement has been reword to reflect the reality, as we never really did pair programming. --- docs/becoming-devops.md | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/becoming-devops.md b/docs/becoming-devops.md index 505317bef..0c1768a91 100644 --- a/docs/becoming-devops.md +++ b/docs/becoming-devops.md @@ -6,17 +6,21 @@ members. ## Junior DevOps program -In order be able to onboard lesser-known members of the community who still want to help out with -DevOps topics, we started the Junior DevOps program.
