Why every software engineering interview should include ops questions

Read Original

The article advocates for including operations-focused questions in software engineering interviews. It criticizes the industry's one-sided push for ops engineers to code better, while neglecting to make software engineers improve their systems skills. The author states that operational excellence is everyone's responsibility and that senior engineers, in particular, must own their code in production. The piece calls for ops engineers to be included in SWE interview loops to assess candidates' understanding of instrumentation, debugging, and the post-deployment lifecycle of their code.
