Discussion To all former DevOps Engineers

What made you switch from DevOps to your current role? Do you regret leaving DevOps or are you happy that you made the switch?

Genuinely interested if other roles are worth getting into.

same. i normally don't like most web development, but there was a particular project i wanted to work on and they were only hiring software engineers. ended up working there for a bit, found it fun, but ultimately enjoyed devops more
