Code
Try to always use Python, Powershell and Github for “things”, TODO notes, write them in Python in Notepad ++
Most of the code should be focused on Python and Powershell.
Quick sheets Python, AMQP, Powershell, Github, SQLPLus, BASH:
spawnmarvel/quickguides: quickguides, markdown, nutshell reference (github.com)
Think automation and monitoring, embrace the 5 min you have and tutorials.

Usually it has been done before and / or there is best practices, the key is to dismantle it and understand its’s pieces.

Checklist risk management:
What are the top risks, how severe is their impact and how likely are they to occur? THEY WILL HAPPEN.
How often do we refresh its assessment of the top risks?
Who owns the top risks and is accountable for results, and to whom do they report?
Always use LTS version of software, dlls, libs etc (TEST, TEST AND TEST AGAIN)

Ever wondered why?
A factor is considered the root cause of a problem if removing it prevents the problem from recurring. A causal factor, conversely, is one that affects an event’s outcome, but is not the root cause. Although removing a causal factor can benefit an outcome, it does not prevent its recurrence with certainty.
The causal factor isn’t the single factor that drove the event. Instead, a causal factor was one of a few influences. The event could still occur again, or would have happened without the causal factor.
Identify Possible Causes:
This can be done in a brainstorm session. Start with the problem definition and ask “why?” it happened. Keep on asking “why?” repetitively until you have found the root cause.
