On the flipside, there are people who valiantly call themselves "DevOps engineers" but are nothing more than glorified remote hands. Thanks to the recruiters and the all-too-common association that "devops = the new ops", the very term has suffered a massive devaluation. I learned this the hard way - I was foolish enough to try to hire DevOps Engineers. That's a two-month span of my life I will never get back. That's why I came up with the idea of renaming it as a search for Infrastructure Engineers. ... only to find out that I wasn't the first one. The signal/noise ratio had obviously been a problem because other companies have used the term before I did, but on the other and, even more companies have joined the crowd since then. (It was interesting to see this blog post, because it has almost the exact title I have had in mind for my WIP longer post on the same topic.)
