I don't have any issue with language evolving and words changing their meaning over time. If the term "DevOps" today simply meant "doing Ops in the cloud", I wouldn't have a problem with that. The word meant X a decade ago, and today it means Y, that's fine. But that's not the reality today. The reality is that a decade ago this term meant exclusively X, and today this term is ambiguous and sometimes refers to X and sometimes refers to Y. When someone talks about "DevOps" today, that term could mean almost anything. It conveys almost no meaning. In that sense the term has definitely "lost its meaning".
