I’ve started my career very early on on the age of 16 as a system admin. Heart and soul was on pure engineering and less on what people label these things on CVs. A few years later I moved up the stack into a full time programmer and been doing that ever since 20 years down the line. I have built systems from the ground up literally, loading the van with the equipment, installing the racks, the servers, the EMC’s ... Having seen it from all perspectives, sys admin, DBA, Ops and all it’s variants and a programmer. I’d like to think of my self as an engineer who solve problems or build things to solve problems. The tools that you use does not define you. I have seen and still seeing loads of people Devs who don’t understand or willing to understand how ops work Or how the crap they produce runs and get maintained. And ops who write hacky code in the name of infra as code. I wish we can just be Engineers and stop labelling and define people by the tools they use. Things will be better IMO
