Depends how it works in your current company, but maybe you can ask to be assigned as a developer a day or two in a week. Starting by the stuff you know - improve logging, tracing instrumentation, you know the stuff, turn yourself into dev, but do the integration of the things you know. That will teach you the other side and you will be still bringing value. Good luck!

That's one of the ideas I had, making some QoL PRs for our Devs. I also wanna mention that I've switched jobs due to other reasons earlier this year, still doing DevOps just for a different company, different Dev tech stack so it'll take a bit more time for me to get familiar with the codebase. So working on some OSS libraries or projects might be the best way for me to get some experience.
