What even is your job?

Devops. but I also have to be on-call sometimes and get alerts at 3 am but my team rotates on-call duties, so i am not always the one getting pinged at 3

You ever get off-task and spend time on this forum?

I am on this forum at work often too. It gets pretty boring tbh

Didn't knew you were a fellow devopcel
Bhai why did you choose devops over SDE?

I actually first started of an SDE. Did the entire full stack courses and those leetcode grind but found devops to be more interesting so I switched.

do you think there is a chance for me to pivot to software engineering even though i am 18 and don't go to college? I am from curryland as you already know and i am doing a finance related course rn.

If you are extremely intelligent SDE and build your profile with free lance projects. A degree is the last thing companies will ask for tbh

Do you think DevOps will eventually be replaced by A.I in the future?

AI right now can't do the job that I do right now. It is used supplementally and helps but it will take some time for AI to do devops. Ai right now can't do debuggung of edge-case deployment failures and manage CI/CD pipelines across environment while coordinating with teams, systems, security protocols they require system-wide context, real-world tradeoffs, and constant judgment calls.

That said, I'm not delusional Al will catch up eventually, and DevOps won't be immune to disruption. But realistically we're looking at 5-6 years before Al becomes capable of handling DevOps end-to-end with minimal human oversight.

Yes i get dedicated "off-call" time where others handle alerts

You explained it well. I think we're looking 7-10 years for A.I to replace DevOps, probably because of it's high demands.

 

[Scarface756]

I can relate tbh.

But I make/answer tons of phone calls too.

Don't you have an endless amount of meetings or is that just a german thing?

Afraid that’ll be me after slaving all these yrs

You usually don't have meetings in my job unlike in some other roles. Most of the time is spent monitoring systems, fixing pipelines, handling alerts, and automating tasks. There are a few necessary meetings like standups or post-mortems but if things are on fire, those get skipped. Endless meetings are more of a finance or management thing i see my boss attending meetings almost everyday @ascension
