Too much Ops with too little training

Pros

Dynamic work environment.

Cons

Too much operational work. It was overwhelming and frustrating to see how much one had to rely on manual processes when some tool development could have saved everyone a lot.

Advice to Management

Focus on tool development.

Focus on structured training for ops.

If the average developer spends more than 50% of their time outside of an IDE, then something is not right.
