Monday

Red Hat Office

On Monday, 31st March, I started work experience at Red Hat. Although I was nervous coming in, however, as soon as the ice breaker started things started to feel better. I got a chance to meet new people. I also learned a lot more about Red Hat and its services and the importance of companies like Red Hat working behind the scenes on things we need in our daily lives, e.g, online banking.

I spent a lot of the day talking with new poeple and also got to look around the Red Hat building. One thing I enjoyed about the day was the fact that we had longer breaks. I think this was important to have on the first day to get used to working and learning for the next few days.

We also leraned about Agile and scrum and the importance of teamwork and communication. We put these skills to use by building potato heads based on a chosen team by our project manager. Our theme was Marvel. We were given two boxes with random items that we had to look though and source parts suitable for each team. Me and my team were quite lucky to have made five potato heads as we found many parts and pieces related to marvel to put together.

Overall, my first day in Red Hat was very fun. I had a great time and am looking forward to the week ahead!

Tuesday

Today we started the day with a stand up telling everyone what we did the day before. This helped me learn how companies like Red Hat work efficiently on a team as each person has to give an update on what they did the day before and their progress so far. We learned about GitHub and created our own accounts to login and write up daily blogs for the week. We wrote our first blog today on all the things we did on Monday.

Afterwards, we learned how to code with Python. This was interesting because although I have already used Python before I got the chance to expand my coding skills. The workshop was clear and easy to follow and I had a great time coding again.

Next, we did a cybersecurity lesson: “How to Crack One Million Passwords.” This was great way to learn about the importance of having a good password. The more passwords I cracked the more longer I had to wait for the results. I never finished the lesson as the wait time for 1 million passwords was simply too long. However, it was enjoyable and easy to code.

Overall, today was a great day and I am looking forward for the rest of the week.

Wednesday

Red Hat Tys

This morning we started off with our stand up with Jennefer as ususal. Then we wrote our blogs for Tuesday. Doing the blogs is great because it lets s recall what happened the previous day and is a fantastic way to remember the week.

After our blogs we listened to a talk about Cloud Computing from James. He talked about what it was, the history of computers and how muhc things have changed, as well as recent things like AI and what is yet to come in the future. We also learned about the type of jobs we can do if we work in acompany like Red Hat.

Afterwards we did lessons of our own choice from cybersecurity. I tried something new and something I had done and enjoyed before: “How to Steal a Pizza.”

Lastly, we were given and hour and a half to build our own rollercoasters with papercups, duck tape, and paper straws. This was a part of Agile and was so fun as we had to create a loop. My team’s roller coaster won in the end but overall it was an excellent task to be communicative and creative while working together. I had a great time building it!

Thursday

Red Hat We started off the day with our stand up at 9:15 and then started our Wednesday blogs. Next, we had a Town Hall meeting in the room we do work experinece in. This happens every two weeks in Red Hat where updates are given, information is exchanged and new team members are introduced. James (leading the meeting) also asked all of us so we went around and said one fun fact about us. The meeting was interesting and fun to listen to.

Next we had a talk on AI form Wolfgang. I did not know much aboutthe details how how AI worked until today so I found this talk intriguing and relative to today’s soiety. After a quick break we went back in for a talk on Bash from Krysztof where we learned how to move data in File Explorer in an easier way using Bash. We also got to play a little game (“Ghost Busters”) where we had to find and move 4 files (Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Clyde) back into a file called Jail. This got us used to moving files and learning different functions in Bash.

Near the end of the day we split into pairs and did a presentation on either rain gardens or sustainability for our sustainability project. We had 40 minutes to work on it and later presented to the group. Presenting was great to practice walking in front of people and coneying concise information.

Today was a great day and I am excited for my final day at Red Hat.
