Mechanical engineers had DevOps figured out long ago. They call it DFM - Design For Manufacturing. It doesn’t mean every designer has his own metal sheet press on his desk. It means he understands his component is used in a bigger picture, should fit into the robot assembling it, use the same type of plastic and standardized screw as all other components, and so on. Same goes for software, running your own shit sounds romantic and all, but having every developer in your company picking their own monitoring stack or understanding the intricacies of kubernetes networking is really not effective. Some central guidance defining the standard screw head to use is needed here as well.
