Note that I said mindset not skillset.

I have zero doubt that I could do an Ops job well, what I can’t do is switch between writing business logic and maintaining servers at the drop of a hat. Similar to how I can’t go from QA to engineer without a context switch/penalty.

As I said elsewhere in this thread if I could clone myself and do both roles I would in an instant. But if I have to pick one I’d pick writing code (as my primary thing), not saying that Ops doesn’t write code, just not the same type of code.
