I did not have any major preconceptions of how a DevOps Engineer role at a start-up would be like, so now after two months into this role, I find the pace not two bad but the "progress" to slow - maybe.
I started at the same time as one other DevOps engineer, and we have paired up so far to cover some of the work "assigned" to us. After two months we have only achieved two successes. I am not sure two successes in two months for the two of us is good or bad progress... I have no metrics to compare with...
Admittedly, we are spending lots of time and effort in learning and trailing new things - most come to nothing or can not be immediately implemented, but we are making small improvements with small steps. So if we carry on as such we should be able to make major progress at some point - the fundamental technique of DevOps is to be able to change our way of working pretty fast to be able deal with changes with the knowledge we have and the processess/systems we've created.
