I have ~15 years of ops experience, and I'm not a skilled developer. I bill ~$200/hr for infrastructure/AWS architecture/DevOps consulting (when not at devops day job), with limited need to be proficient at software development.

Curious where you're getting that hourly without also doing coding.

I'm a terrible programmer but I have 20 years of massive scale op experience.
