What do you do that you earn six figures?

It seems like a lot of people make a lot of money and it seems like I’m missing out on something. So those of you that do, whats your occupation that pays so well?

So what's odd about DevOps isn't it really shouldn't even be a job. It's more a philosophy of breaking down silo's between developers and operations. For Infrastructure IT types this meant treating servers, networks, etc like a software engineering problem. For the Developers it meant owning the software all the way through deployment.

Now it means using automation, and pipelines do to everything above, and working in a cross functional team.

I absolutely love it, and would highly recommend it. It's nice seeing the big picture, and being empowered to make improvements that help everyone
