I can't be the only person who's had to basically become a part time developer just to keep core business processes running??
Like... you spend months learning internal logic that has nothing to do with your actual job. you become the unofficial admin for tools that were supposed to be self serve. and then the moment you leave, none of that knowledge transfers and the next person starts from scratch
I've heard it described as if you need someone specialized just to operate a process, you probably don't want that process long term. and honestly that hit different
I didn't want to carry that burden at my next company and I don't think anyone in ops should have to. what's the process in your stack that quietly turned you into a specialist when you were just trying to do your job😬
