      Dev/SysOps, because if you build shit that doesn’t collapse then you can spend time experimenting with improvements instead of babysitting application clusters.

          Less programming, more file templates. I did more scripting as Desktop Support than I do as a DevOps engineer. Most of the automation is handled by existing software. The main job is figuring out how to install software in an environment, then making templates that can replicate the install with different parameters and minimal effort.
