Most developers just want to work on tickets other non infra related tasks.
For the majority of those contributors its really helpful to give them a happy path. This happy path also makes supporting much easier.
This happy path comes out as a platform and series of tools on top of the k8s layer.
I love working on infra automation, and I love enabling other teams. When I did nothing but dev work the feedback loop for when I helped someone could be months. As an SRE I help dozens of people every week with near real-time feedback.
