I'm actually perplexed why the people in our ops team have the title DevOps Engineer, when they don't do any dev work, just handle all aws related stuff.

I asked one of them this question, but couldn't get any answer that satisfied my curiousity.

EDIT: For what it's worth I don't view myself as a software developer or operations or systems administrator or frontend or backend or fullstack. I like to think of myself as a Problem Solver. It just so happens that I'm currently paid to solve software engineering problems.

I want to know everything from Dockerfiles to bash scripting to assembly to functional programming to DDD, etc.



I have asked this question myself, and after failing to get an appropriate answer, I started using "DevOps Administrator" instead of "Engineer" in my email signature. It feels more appropriate since I definitely do not write production code.
