> In my experience a lot of people who started as developers 20+ years ago move on to system administration, and retitled themselves SRE/Devops over recent years. Usually they don't retitle themselves, companies do. It seems the whole IT industry just collectively decided to rename the sysadmin role as devops when using cloud and containers technologies regardless if they actually use DEVOPS methodology or not. That is my history as an engineer at least.
