If I Knew This Earlier, I’d Be a Much Better Automation Engineer (PLC/DCS Regrets 2025)

I’ve been in automation for a while now — PLCs, DCS systems, industrial networks, you name it. But looking back, there are so many things I wish I had learned earlier.

In this video, I’m sharing my biggest regrets — the stuff they don’t teach you in school, and that no one really talks about in the industry. These are the things that would’ve saved me time, stress, and missed opportunities.

What’s in the video:

Why I ignored cybersecurity (and how it bit me later)

Sticking to just one vendor (bad idea!)

Thinking Python wasn't for “automation people”

Wasting time by not reusing code

Not building a network or sharing my work

Overvaluing grades instead of skills

Being afraid to ask senior engineers for help

Skipping documentation

Focusing too much on hardware, not enough on systems

And yes… procrastinating

If you’re just getting started — or even a few years in — this might help you skip some of the mistakes I made.

I’m not here to preach. I just want to pass on the stuff I wish someone told me.

If any of this hits home — like the video, share it with someone in automation, and subscribe. Got more videos coming soon on real career lessons, not just theory.

Till next time — take care, keep learning, and never stop growing.
