That's me. I did that.
- Spivak 4y agoAnd I know it's somewhat exaggerated but if the product people don't have visibility into your wins as an ops person then you need to make a more conscious effort to talk about them. Once you peel away the jargon, and tbf doing this is a skill that requires practice, non-techies do think ops work is cool.
- roboben 4y agoDisclaimer: I am an Ops engineer turned product manager. But I don’t like this rift. There are many ops people having a good understanding of product and vice versa. It’s just the stereotype which gets reproduced all the time, including in this blog post. Sure, if management doesn’t get that there is value (and cost!) in proper ops work and having product management attached to it, then all is turned to “DevOps” anyways
