On Certifications¶
Certifications verify that someone passed an exam at a point in time. Operational experience verifies that someone kept production running over years.
Both have value. The certification demonstrates baseline competency and structured learning. The operational track record demonstrates that the knowledge was applied, tested, and refined under real-world conditions.
The documentation in this wiki emphasizes the latter - what was built, what was maintained, what was learned from failure - because that's what matters to the organizations this work serves.
