Hehe. I was in DevOps and it was intellectually challenging but not really an exciting gig. I find more excitement in creating new tools for the public consumer over locking down servers, building scripts, setting up automation testing and doing configuration management. I do recognize that all of that is critical to being able to scale your operation but I'd rather have someone else do it than myself. That being said, I would still do it, if no one else knows what they're really doing--I just wouldn't apply for a job with DevOps in the title.
