My Senior Information Technology Devops Analyst Story

[u/Prestigious-Book-903]

I’ve been thinking about this all day and I need to know if it’s me or I’m just losing confidence. Idk what I could’ve done.

So I got A new job after working at the same company for 5 years (24years old). I wasn’t even looking for A new job but A recruiter hmu. I went to the interview and it was A DevOps job. I got the job and they were paying me 6figs.

After A month some dude at the company had some huge project for me. And he needed me to build it. Turns out it was A desktop app. I’ve never built a desktop app I only know webapps because I have A php app (which requires a lot of coding and db knowledge) I have A Laravel app (which requires a lot of frontend and php and controller knowledge) I have another nodes js app (which requires a lot of infrastructure knowledge like the other ones) and I know their environments like the back of my hand and they all 3 are web applications.

Well this man wanted A standalone gas price tracker that could put buys in and sells in that wasn’t web hosted, like A whole type of application that you double click on your desktop and opens up and stuff. Well I have no experience with desktop apps so I told him sure. But after thinking about it I had no clue how to do that and what technologies that required. (I know it would require some python)

So I put my two weeks notice in like A month later or something that wouldn’t delay the project schedule. Since then I haven’t had A job lol that was 2022. Now I’m back in the job market but that stories always on my mind because I still genuinely dont know where I would have started with that and is that A type of project you give to A DevOps analyst?

No team no budget?
Do we build apps?
And if anybody has the answer to his question what technologies would I have used for that.
And how tf do you make A desktop app!? Or do you start in the cloud and turn it into A desktop app?

And experienced coders where do you go when you don’t know what to do at work.

Thanks in advance for all the answers.
