Most Ops people - fuck, even most actual DevOps Engineers - have no clue what the fuck DevOps is. They (rightfully) assume it's just a trendy new word for the same old Ops bull, but in the cloud and with Terraform.
DevOps failed because it never educated anybody except a very small handful of people who actively were looking to solve big organizational problems. It was too many things to too few people. It could succeed only if you brought everybody in the entire org through three different training courses. And that's because DevOps tries to make Operations uplift literally the entire technology organization.
DevOps is dead. The ideas are great, but we need to bring the ideas to people outside Ops. Until then it will just be a slightly-more-technologically-advanced Ops.
