All the words are bullshit: DevOps, GitOps, SecOps, CI, CD, zero-trust, Agile, yada, yada, yada. It's people with their passion, expertise and attitude that make a good IT pipeline. Thinking you can capture it in a word, write some blog posts or courses and then apply it to whatever team is pure folly. But then what would the consultants sell? And what would massive IT service companies attach their products to? Hype is the grease that lubricates the opening of the wallets. I've been a sysadmin, then a DevOps, now a Dev. I loved system administration the most but then it got a bad connotation for management, recruiters, etc. Like sysadmins did not do automation or wrote code. So the jobs went away and then I got jobs writing YAML and using whatever alpha version automation tool was hyped at the time. So in the end I said fuck this, I'm tired of trying to put garbage code that others wrote into production using what they (who had no Ops experience) think makes Ops work. I want to write my own garbage code and let others use whatever born-yesterday YAML templating engine or DSL is trending nowadays. As an Ops guy the only way to win is not to play.
