I've been an SRE / DevOps for nearly 20 years (well, the role has changed quite a bit since it was called "sysadmin") and wanted to thank you for this excellent description.
I often wonder whether I should start pivoting to full-stack or at least back-end development, in order to better position myself for technical cofounder / startup CTO opportunities (DevOps expertise isn't the most valuable skillset in the first few months. Ability to quickly whip a product prototype together at a hackathon is.)
But you've just reminded me why I love my job so much !
