THANK you![1]

Calling anything ops "DevOps" is right up there with calling JSON APIs "REST."

I know it's silly to let it bother me, but man does it get under my skin.

it’s a meaningless term that can define dozens of roles

But the whole point was that it wasn't a separate role: it was a re-distribution of work so the developers were doing operations. Instead, a lot of people entirely missed the point and just renamed their ops people to devops.
