Description

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Is DevOps really something a junior should do straight out of school or bootcamp? Wouldn’t it make more sense to spend 3 to 5 years as either a pure sysadmin or pure developer first? DevOps touches so many areas: Infrastructure, CI/CD, security, monitoring, automation, and without a solid foundation, it feels like you’re constantly drowning. Unless you have a strong mentor guiding you, things can spiral quickly. Without that support, it’s less of a job and more of a daily panic. Curious how others see this. Should DevOps even be offered as a junior role, or is it something you grow into later?
