> The development team didn’t want to – or couldn’t – do the Ops work
Most devs I've spoke to are in this camp they don't want to do any Ops work at all. They want a 9-5 job without evenings are weekends wasted by services failing. No on call rota and all that jazz just writing code that's all.
Same as there were "good engineers" who adamantly only wanted to write code, not fix bugs or test it, or work on anything infrastructure/tooling related even it doesn't involve any oncall.
