I didn't realise I was offensive, sorry. If operations is moving towards being automated by software it's only natural to want to move more towards programming side. I'm not saying this a bad thing, only natural. If infrastructure people see traditional server management moving towards automated deployments/monitoring/automated server setup. Then a lot of them would want to move into those skills, which a lot did. Is there anything wrong in wanting to cross-functional? Most DevOps people are developers who automate infrastructure, or Infrastructure people who move into programming so they can automate. You need to have both to be really good at it. That's what crossfunctional means. Btw I am actually devops, and I've been working on it for a few years.
