This poll is for backend engineers: For your job, do you have to do on call work or pager duty?
OP, do you even math bro?
Try every way possible to avoid it. With health issues it can be impractical.
I've been trying to become a backend engineer for the past >5 years ("stuck" doing frontend). Now I'm wondering if I really want to do it given that I'll likely have to do pagerduty.
Write code that doesn't catch fire all the time
If only I only had to do on call for my own code
Big serious issues are usually backend. So yes. Front-end engineers can usually get away by showing cute puppies.
Nope 🙂 we got SREs to do that dirty work
Sure. But if your code is crap, the SREs will hand the pager back to you until the backend code is fixed.
In many companies, SRE is a fancy name for ops. You are thinking SRE as Google defined them and many companies don't do anything like that for their engineering teams.

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Yes, otherwise I get kicked in my backend.
