Yes! It's also software that matters very little if you can't get a good support story for it - it's not customer facing and there are no SLAs, so worst case, everyone's automation fails but they can still get their job done. If you want to build a CLI for handling code reviews or an automated bisection tool using OCaml on a Raspberry Pi or whatever, that's way more acceptable than building customer-facing software (either services or shipped software) using OCaml on a Raspberry Pi. Also, writing this type type of software makes you an actual 10x engineer (by making 10 other engineers more productive).
