Does /g/ think devops is a good career to progress to from a front end web dev? I'd love to get more in to info sec and make a fuck ton of money as a consultant, but my job right now is quite comfy and not too much work. Should I do certs or?

Don't fuck up a good thing.
Is Dev ops comfy overall?

staying comfortable is a good way to never progress
The fuck is DevOps anyways.

Yup. Unchallenging jobs and projects do not make a resume standout when you inevitably have to move to a different company or interview for a new project.

Sysadmin with rudimentary programming knowledge

managing cloud instances etc
devops.
good luck down the job of two people for the price of one pay check.

Do you actually know how low level code works or do you only know toy languages?
Devops is a compete meme word. It's supposed to be a cultural ideology not a job title. Management derps now think it is in fact a job title meaning anything from a google tier SRE to a wordpress dev who knows how to setup a Ubuntu lamp stack.
I am on a devops team and I tried in vain to argue that devops is a fucking meme because I'm a systems engineer with a programming background, I'm a dev and an op and that's not what devops is about. Devops is supposed to be a cultural bridge between dev teams and ops teams.
Anyway I gave up arguing and now I'm a devops engineer but what I really do is automate sysadmin stuff with programming.
