Alright then have fun fixing, migrating or scaling something (prod critical) that the founding engineer whipped together with no comments, docs or IAC, seven years after he left, with no access to the keys and no context. Or, maybe you ARE that engineer and you don’t mind fucking your colleagues over whenever you go on vaca, or being on call 24x7x365.

Just because DevOps/SRE is work doesn’t mean it’s not valuable work.
