This is a much better, more sensible article than yesterday. My good takeaway here is that DevOps means whatever you think it means - it's a lot of different things to a lot of different people. That's a much more positive spin on my frankly negative opinion that it's devolving into a meaningless buzzword to attach to resumes, recruiting, and PowerPoint presentations for management.
I know I came in to DevOps (the word, not the job - I've been doing the job since the mid-1990s) with a strong opinion of what it ought to mean - cross-org cooperation between development and operations. This article has me rethinking that a bit.
Yeah, the word is only meaningful when the speaker and listener have enough shared context to pin down the meaning. In that situation, there's probably a better word anyway.
It's not quite the red flag that "ninja" and "rockstar" have become, but it definitely makes me wary when I hear it.
