DevOps is broken
I’ve long held this opinion but I consistently get drowned out.DevOps has different meaning depending on who you’re talking to, even some definitions that appear similar are different in nuanced but important ways.All “devops” as a job title has done has muddy responsibilities and given many folks the wrong impression of what an operations discipline should be.There is also a lot of rewriting of history that gets thrown in, similar to how when people talk about cloud then the only alternative is to start making CPUs by hand and begin building your own nuclear reactors. It’s the idea of what came before, not the reality, that people seem to be defensive of.It’s honestly exhausting to discuss.So instead I became CTO so I can solve this mess properly, I don’t hire devops, I hire infra engineers, build engineers, release engineers and: backend engineers.Roles so simple that you already have a clue what they do, which is sort of the point of job titles.
