The problem with my current employer isn't the lack of technical sophistication, it's that everyone outside of the dev org thinks my skillset is fungible with every other person inside the dev org.

Despite me being hired explicitly outside the dev org's purview because it *isn't*

so kinda like "devops (we have a lot of devs and one person who does ops)?"

@Alex P. 👹 I was hired by someone who knew what they were doing and given Infrastructure and Security as purview, and now everyone says "this person does DevOps" which... hurts every time

@Alex P. 👹 the real problem is when people
1) tell the dev lead about like, DNS changes or whatever, and then they don't tell me "but it's all engineering"
2) asking me to deal with frontend JS or python code that just... I don't know
