devops is an overloaded term. it’s normally used to pay lip service to bad/unsustainable practices.

  Yeah, it gets used for a lot of things -- seemingly, anyone who wants a positive or trendy word related to operations uses it to describe whatever they want. Just a few examples I've encountered: - "we have dedicated ops people who do things that are similar to programming", but also do all classic ops toil - "We have SREs", both in name only, or in reality - "all the ops-work is done by the devs" - "devs and ops are separate teams, but, we make them work together better somehow" - "we use kubernetes / we use docker / we use a cloud hosting service" - "the devs are on call too" etc.
