> Devops is when you have developers who are empowered. That’s just half true. If something doesn’t work in production, guess who can get mysql production logs? Not the developers. Can you access production dbs (not that that’s the way to fix things, but I have seen that in many orgs)? Nop. And if there’s anything you can do yourself (like changing things via TF files), you’ll need to wait until the gatekeepers approve your request. The gatekeeper are usually called platform engineers. But in any case, I don’t want all that power (and responsibility) either if it does not come with an increased compensation.
