Ask HN: Choosing between Web development vs OpenStack development

[haidrali]

I am a web developer working with cutting edge technologies like Rails, Angular, Redis etc. Few days back i attended a OpenStack developers meet up ( conference ) and it excites me. What do you recommend me to choose between a Web Developer and OpenStack developer. I have been working in web for more then 2 years and have good grasp over it.

Thanks

I don't think it's a mutually exclusive decision. You can be both. But 2 completely different practices. OpenStack development is largely devops, eg developing auto healing or resilient apps that would for example spin up VMs when a VM hangs.
