These are questions for wise men with skinny arms

I used to hate doing ops, it reminds me of doing front-line IT work when I had no idea what was going on and was constantly at the whim of a developer I could never contact or understand. Once I became a developer, I didn’t give ops enough credit until I did independent work. As a developer first, I favored build over buy because I’d rather make my own mess than spend time learning someone else’s.
