Well. That list is certainly something. But whatever it is, it's not DevOps. It's like "certified agile"? Which is also not agile.

To be fair, that's the last bullet point after all the other (pretty relevant) topics.

And I agree, that's "certified agile". Pretty useless. You can pick whatever "agile" processes are being done in your company in 15min and just go with the flow. A "devops engineer" (whatever that is) hardly needs to know more than that to deliver.

That a fair point, but the whole thing is "learn yourself some devops". If that list ends up building up to that, then you've not gotten the point of any of it and you can't honestly call that last section "devops". There's also some weird excursions on that list, like securing a CI/CD pipeline before we've even gotten to that or getting to k8s way too early.

Spivak's approach is much more in line with what I'd suggest folks do: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33398284

"certified agile" makes me think of gymnasts
