I've never really been interested in straight development, though I do enjoy the occasional coding session. I'd say at this point, I'm ops through and through, and I feel that the value I add is understanding the systems and what they're doing at a fairly low level. As such, I do sometimes have to help developers out with things I consider surprisingly basic (not usually code exactly), but that's the nature of teamwork I suppose; I'm happy to have a place in things and don't shy away from epithets like "yaml wrangler" or "helpdesk for devs".
