>DevOps is dead?

Fyi, the title is using the rhetoric template of:

  <SOMETHING> is dead.  Long live <SOMETHING>. [1]

...where <SOMETHING> is deliberately the same word in both sentences. The construct is a shortened version of: <SOMETHING> in its previous and more well-known form has evolved to <SOMETHING> with a new variation. That <SOMETHING> is still there the whole time -- which is sort of meta-joke connecting the 2 sentences.

It's as if someone wrote "Cars are dead. Long live cars." to signal the change from humans manually driving the cars to AI robots doing it. If you read the "cars" literally, it looks nonsensical because there are obviously cars existing both before and after the shift to automation.
