Ask HN: DevOps engineer taking programming sabbatical

[throwaway0071]

I've 10 years of experience with infrastructure, lately focusing on cloud and Kubernetes.

I'm doing well with all the configuration management knowledge but my programming skills aren't fluent enough for a SRE role, a-la Google. I discovered that in recent interview.

I can reduce my work week from 5 to 3 days, leaving me with 2 days plus weekends to focus exclusively on programming tasks. For one year.

What should I focus on, considering my target is 100% Backend Projects?

I'd say Java, C or C++ depending on your niche..
