Is it difficult to transition from SysAdmin/Server Ops to Platform Engineering?

I’m currently working as a System Admin / Server Operations Engineer. I’m interested in moving into Platform Engineering/SRE/Devops, but I often see people saying that most Platform Engineers come from a Software Development background.
Is it common for people with a traditional infrastructure/ops background to make this jump? What are the biggest hurdles? I’m comfortable with server management and networking, but I’m wondering if my lack of "pure app dev" experience will be a major blocker.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has made a similar transition or works on a platform team. What should I focus on?

I am fully focusing on myself this year.

Hi!
I am a 20 year old poet, writer and artistic woman. Currently, I am also a law student.
This post is a way of me finally commiting to myself and deciding I am fully focusing on myself this year.
I wish to create, I wish to write, I wish to love.
Those are the words I go by.
I wish to meet like-minded individuals. Disciplined, hard-working, full of love and ambition, empathy and care.
I wish to publish my book.
I wish to write many more poems and create a collection. Then publish it.
I wish to meet like-minded people. Followers of Christ, ambitious and disciplined, passionate and dedicated.
I wish to be fully who God intended me to be.
I cannot go half into all of this.
I am right now commiting to my self-improvement journey, I will take care of myself and focus my energy into my life; what I can control, actions I take, thoughts I think, words I speak.
Each upvote will remind me.
Thank you for reading through.
Let’s journey through together. 💜

Im going back to college tomarrow and im dreading it because i dont like my roommate

For context
my roommate is a foreign exchange student from mexico.
Last year my old roommate left so i had to get paired with someone else
And EVERY MOURNING at 7 AM 2 hours before my alarm is supposed to go off he blasts hispanic music from his alexa for the entire hour long process he takes to get ready. (Beccause hes one of those people who showers in the mourning).
I never confronted him about this because we dont talk to each other at all and i dont want conflict and im not the best at confrontation due to being on the spectrum i thought about leaving him a note telling him my greivences but people have told me thats a bad idea so i dont know of i should.
but even with that aside he KNOWS it annoys me because i tried to bury a pillow over my head when he first started doing this, when he steps out of the room to take a shower i paused his alexa music but he turns it back on when he gets back, and one mourning even shouted to me "hear this music" to me.
I tried going to bed earlier but he also has another habit where he watches youtube videos out loud and watches fifa streamers going to sleep and DOESNT TURN THEM OFF BEFORE HE FALLS ASLEEP sometimes going as late as 2 AM before
