Plans and ideas for 2024
In May 2020 I joined a great software engineering team, working on a new messaging and notification platform. Around mid-2021 I became the lead engineer.
The work was a mix of software engineering and DevOps tasks, but due to the nature of the target environment, and the skill-mix of the team, the DevOps part started to dominate (I would say 25/75 in favor of DevOps work).
Now, there’s nothing wrong with DevOps work, but the way DevOps was meant to be (not a role but a way of doing things together in a team) versus what it is in practice (“Who’s the DevOps Engineer? Can you fix this Kubernetes issue?”) is just a sad state of affairs. Before you can say “repeat after me, DevOps is not a role”, you’re neck-deep into infrastructure and operational issues that take away from the software engineering part of the job.
