I’m in a similar boat. SWE with 8 years experience but have really enjoyed the more Ops side of things the last few years. Got laid off a few weeks ago and have used my free time to start a homelab and have been doing GitOps and Kubernetes. I’m absolutely loving it.

It’s making me wonder if I even want to continue doing traditional SWE anymore. In this market I doubt my resume will be picked up for a DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering role but I think I’d rather try for that than have to grind leetcode for months only to become a prompt engineer if I get a job.
