DevOps doesn't really mean anything. Do you like working on infrastructure problems and in general working with systems instead of products? The trick is to not style yourself as one thing or another. I like to tell people I'm a problem solver that happens to use code and systems to solve problems. It just so happens that currently the intersection of my interests falls under the heading of DevOps. Also, why do you care what people think? If you can solve problems then someone will pay you money to solve problems. Continue to advance your problem solving abilities and you'll never be out of a job, DevOps or otherwise. Just to get the point across one more time: Stop caring what HN or any other place says about technology in general and just continue to advance your skills regardless of anyone's opinion.
