No chip on my shoulder, nor assumption you&#x27;re a developer.<p>You said: &quot;Originally yes, it was about being more cross functional instead of separate silo&#x27;s.&quot;<p>Which strikes me as the continuation of requiring someone to be familiar with everything in the stack. So you get people who are mediocre at every skill they need, and not particularly good at any single task.<p>Also, you said: &quot;However operations people had an issue with that&quot;<p>Not in the slightest. As an ops person, I embrace the DevOps model. My problem is when someone like yourself makes a broad, unsubstantiated generalization such as this.<p>Ops people want systems to run smoothly, and also want to have a life outside of work (I&#x27;m assuming? Perhaps another broad generalization). DevOps means I work with developers to ensure their code works as expected in production as it did in development and staging, and that they&#x27;re not just throwing it over the fence to me and hoping for the best.
