I'm more and more convinced that "DevOps" (and "Agile" before it) are just buzzwords that can be leveraged to make whatever change the person implementing it wanted to do all along, with zero regard for what the buzzword actually means. If real devops was going to happen, it wouldn't take a brand to sell cross functional collaboration. It would have just been yet another one of the constant stream of incremental improvements we make by folding lessons learned in industry into our own orgs. "DevOps" today is just codified Shadow IT.
