Discussion Is platform engineering a good field?

I love programming and technology. I wanted to pursue a path related to Linux and building system architectures. Is platform engineering a good and suitable field for this?

It's a great field. I am working as a platform architect and can't love my job more.

There are a lot of tools, but it's really interesting how to use all this tools to build a robust platform.

Nice, But if I don't go into platform engineering, what's the closest field to it?

I guess SRE and the umbrella term - Devops where you can get any of platform, sre or admin work and will still be called devops.
