Developers - What are your biggest Devops holdups, issues and headaches?

2 points by mrjatx ↗ HN
Basically, what are some things that you find yourself doing that are completely unrelated to coding/development?

I'm referring things such as;

Workflow: setting up your dev environments, documentation, integration, build and issue tracking systems

Infrastructure: setting up your repeatable server deployments (Puppet, Chef via EC2/RAX, etc). Then managing those servers (maintenance, security, optimization, break-fix)

Biz stuff: Marketing, accounting, websites

General research: Choosing all of the above- EC2? Rax? Jira? Mantis?

I'm really interested in those of you who work with multiple developers, but even singular developers- I'd love to heard your greatest hardships that you find wasting your coding time.

How would someone wanting to open up a devops-on-retainer consultancy reach you guys?
documentation is related to development....
Yeah I wasn't excluding that, I meant configuring the documentation servers, etc.
