I also took issue to this, but it looks like the author responded in a comment. If I understand their intentions correctly, it probably would be better phrased as: "if rolling forward isn't even considered, it's DevOps, otherwise it's SRE." While I can't disagree with the author's experience, in my experience the title is meaningless. At my current job some coworkers think I'm an SRE, some people think I'm DevOps, and some people think I'm in IT.
