And not to mention getting called at 2 am because something didn't build or the release bombed and having to examine, for the first time, some over-complicated mechanism to build things that goes through some pipeline where you're eyeballing large log files full of long exception chains. Devs see the world as one where velocity and progress is among the most important, while 'sysadmins' (a term no longer used by companies and recruiters, unfortunately) have to worry about keeping the applications actually up so they can be used. DevOps just seemed to have swept the sysadmin under the rug under some pretty words about breaking down barriers. It feels more that devs broke down the wall sometimes. The amount of infrastructure chaos and mess and confusion I see today (as a contractor bouncing around different places) seems higher than traditional infrastructure shops of 10+ years ago.
