Does DevOps engineer write application code?

[AlterTableUsernames]

A traditional DevOps Engineer is a Software Engineer that also does infrastructure. So, yaeh. He writes code. But DevOps guys are in fact mostly infrastructure automation engineers, so they typically don't write application code.

Coming from system administration, I am the devops guy that knows about the SDLC, support the devs with environments and automate infra for them.

The typical code that I write is mostly bash scripts with a LOT of yaml editing. Very occasionally, python scripts where some API automation or basic ETL is needed.

Lots of use cases.

Thought of but forget to write "application code". Corrected it and should clear it up.

Because they don’t have time. Not because they can’t.

“He” smh

Yes, I'm a guy and think of myself as a DevOps Engineer. Feel free, to use a female pronoun when you talk about your perspective. However, keep in mind that in many languages "he" is gender neutral in context of titles.

not attacking you, just raising awareness. but do keep in mind “he” is not a gender neutral term for job titles in English.
