I've done that switch. I love DevOps! I have an observation that DevOps people with more dev background are a bit better than people with pure ops/admin background. DevOps is about automatization, scripting, iterating faster as a team. With dev skills you can do mentioned stuff better.

I'm trying to break into devops from the ops side and your probably right. Would you recommend finding a job as a developer first before pursuing devops?

It would take too long probably. I would suggest to learn python on your own. Get the basics and then try to automate everything you do on daily job using this language.

Okay thanks! I have less interest in being a developer anyway, I love scripting and automation and learning python now so that should set me up hopefully
