I thought “dev ops” was applying dev work flows to ops processes. That is, sprints, jira stories, etc. Then SRE came along, and it was all about devs doing ops work focusing on keeping things up and running. That is, a dev doing rigorous ops work with a focus on SLIs, error budgets, etc. But then, the term got trendy, leaked out of Google, and everyone wanted to be cool so they called their devops guys (which were really repurposed sysadmins) SREs but the job really didn’t change.
