My outfit has five separate teams to protect us helpless devs from SRE/Ops cloud CLI's and dashboards: devops, appops, SRE, infosec, and IT technology. The things is cloud providers and cloud wrapper companies all pay bribes to managers. The company becomes all about SRE/ops instead of app development. The infosec team is currently running the company's cloud strategy, lol. App developers are not even allowed to deploy code. Naturally though, on-call pages still come to us. I just look at the errors and think, "that's nice, whelp I can't deploy anything so I will close this." I would quit but Covid-19.

any tips for managing a multi language mono repo like that?
Every cloud provider is wrapped in HTTP REST APIs but the cloud era version of a UNIX neckbeard has a DSL or CLI tool to peddle.
Sorry, gang. Doing just fine with a monorepo of JS, Python, and Go packages that wrap the APIs for a variety of providers. New infra is just a new language dependency file away, and I don’t have to learn your semantic wank.
So glad you had a job at FAANG, but outside ITs reality distortion field, we’re plenty productive and you’re just another human.
