- _ix 4y agoHa! That’s not all that different from my experience. I was going to ask if we’ve collectively given up on arguing against DevOps as a title, role, department, etc.

- bradleyjg 4y agoIT operations engineer? How about sysadmin?
- throwaway892238 4y agoYeah, pretty similar. The difference would be that a Systems Administrator mainly "Administrates" (maintenance, toil, etc), which doesn't have to involve an Engineering discipline. An IT Operations Engineer would take on more Engineering work and not necessarily "Administrate". And the "Operations" part can relate to either Business Operations or Operations Management.
- Aeolun 4y agoUnless you are an especially forward thinking Operations Engineer, I don’t think this is necessarily true. Most of the people I’ve worked with called like that stopped their professional development somewhere around the year 2000 and are now coasting along. For the new title, I feel like they completely ignore the Dev part of DevOps.
