I recommend others doing on call so I don't have to. I'm not an ops person, though I probably wouldn't mind some of the job, and hate being on call. I did it for a year at my current workplace (as a dev). All the problems I was capable of fixing I automated away, and got really annoyed that others didn't do the same for their areas of expertise. In hindsight, we probably should have had separate rosters for separate areas to encourage ownership, but we were a very small team (6 or so).
