"Get older, quicker" so true. Hopefully if we have done our job right, we should have less sleepless nights. As for getting pinged, in out of office hours, you generally can't resolve application issues, but you can do the basic investigation and triaging.

I feel like being an application developer FIRST is better. I am intentionally avoiding dev ops self studying for another year.

are you working in devops these days or spent a stint doing it? was considering switching to devops from software engineering just to try something different than the endless "agile" delivery process which is quite soul destroying despite the fact that coding can be fun and creative. figured devops is a space that still requires a lot of creativity in terms of solving process problems but is less just coding all day and a bit closer to the running of the rest of the business.
