I've been on the sysadmin/ops end, trying to teach devs how to apply their software engineering to ops. It's not a short ramp, unfortunately; the various ops stacks now are as broad and deep as software development stacks. Worse yet, it is not Yet Another Imperative Programming Language for them to pick up. Even declarative configuration management systems embed a lot of hidden, assumed sysadmin/ops experience/skills that many devs don't arrive on the scene with, and in the vast majority of cases it was like training someone from scratch to become a sysadmin, and then start devops training. Add in cross-platform ops, and it gets more challenging. Add in enterprise demands and integration points, and it becomes a multi-year effort.

More unfortunately, it is also a long ramp up time to bring sysadmins who don't know programming up to speed on software development. I'd like to know what others are doing to quickly build a devops team if they are doing that, other than "find highly-skilled senior sysadmins who already know software development", because that's my go-to approach for the time being, as it is way faster to teach someone like that Ansible if they already use Chef, for example, than pick up sysadmins or devs and cross-train them into the other field.

I'm good at writing code, developing libraries, architecture, etc. I'm not very good at operations - mostly because I don't enjoy it and haven't spent much time applying it.

Not everyone is the pitcher, the catcher, the first baseman, etc. We specialize because that's how humans work best together. Everyone should not need to know how to do everything.

Developers must work with operations - of course. The way and the what developers build must be able to be deployed in an agile manner. But, that does not mean that developers must become operations engineers as well. Leave that to the specialists in that role.

you mean the ops guys. and yeah it's just an easy way to take nerds and make them do more stuff so you can save that extra 85-100k salary. More profit for the shareholders, what's not to love.

That is NoOps.
