You're not an outlier, many people (myself included) feel the same way. > So I think it's awesome that some people want to do this work. I hope they do it full-time, and that lets me do my thing full-time. If you're lucky and your company lets you pick whether you want to apply for a SWE role or an SRE role (like Google), then it will work out ok. But a lot of companies just used "DevOps" as an excuse to get rid of their ops teams and dump the work onto the dev teams. Some places take it a step further and get quite toxic, and have a culture where there's a complete lack of sympathy for engineers who have a heavy oncall load. The idea is that their code is shit so they deserve to be woken up in the middle of the night, as some sort of punishment.
