thats totally the type of code I have written. granted I really consider it more configuration even if it is code. This is always a thing with jobs. Yes I have written code but no im not really a coder by my definition (writes code over 50% of time at positions). No you don't really need a coder for this ops role but yeas its fine that it uses continous development and a bit of code needs to be changed and you call it all devops.

I'm a dev and work with some devOPs, and you nailed my experience with them exactly! Here are some projects I've seen them build:

  • open web ui (self-hosted AI) with some custom logic to verify an API key; it's only available on the VPN/LAN, but IT has rules; basically ended up being a bit of lua in nginx
  • some JS and Python to add some widgets to the app (stuff like reporting issues)
  • random lambdas and other scripts to check server health

I remember doing all that stuff when I worked at a startup, and it's nice to just see things get automated.

Like half my last role was pretty much automation. Which is sorta good and I guess maybe why devops is a better way to look at it. Back when it was just ops it seemed like they would never give time to get things like automation done.
