Abstract: 

No one emerges from the womb an Infrastructure Engineer (except maybe John AllSpaw), and the idea of which skills gaps constitute acceptable hiring risk are highly contested. After a year of struggles, triumphs, and self-reflection, I humbly present my context as a case study in the Sisyphean task of remedying skills gaps in a field where lifelong-learning is a given.
