If we go by the original usage of the term, then yes, it's different skillsets between Ops and DevOps. You can't announce an Ops position with a DevOps title since the two are different by definition.
However, even if we go by your definition that it is the same thing, then the "Dev" part is completely redundant and we should just call it "Ops", since it's by definition the same thing and it doesn't warrant a new title, because it's the exact same thing. However I doubt that's what the case the original article is talking about.

- olalonde 4y agoSo there is a specific role and skillset for DevOps engineers (going by the original usage of the term), correct? Don't you feel that if you can hire a “DevOps engineer” for a specific role on a software team then we have all lost at using the phrase DevOps?
- ratww 4y ago> So there is a specific role and skillset for DevOps engineers (going by the original usage of the term), correct? Be careful with that misquoting there: I said "different skillsets", I didn't say necessarily roles. An Ops and a DevOps person will know different things. > Don't you feel that if you can hire a “DevOps engineer” for a specific role on a software team then we have all lost at using the phrase DevOps? So, you copy-pasted this from the article. If so I'll assume you're agreeing with them and this conversation can be over.
