Part of why I am fed up with this industry is that I no longer know what my role is. It seems that I have to:
* Develop new features
* Fix bugs
* Sit in standup, "alignment" meetings, and any meeting created by a Zoom-promiscuous engineer (let's hop on a call!)
* Reply to dozens of Slack messages per day
* Write documentation
* Develop and maintain the CI/CD pipeline
* Be an expert on Observability (aka Debugging in Production)
* Have Galaxy Brain level knowledge on the entire cloud setup in all environments
And now I am thinking, if being an engineer involves all that, why not just find a gig with pure DevOps and not worry about product development?
