The author claiming that no single person can master development and ops and security is missing the point. By abstracting over some of the details of all of those fields, someone can be proficient in all of them, and therefore gain the per

Unfortunately, that's not how it works. a) no you can't just decide to go and live in any postcode you want, you need to be able to afford the cost of living there, and b) the study is about where you're born, not just where

Some of the ideas here remind me of OAM: https://oam.dev/ OAM has a model of components (things like containerized workloads, databases, queues), traits (scaling behavior, ingress) and in the latest draft, policies that app
