Ankur Kumar Singh Bhauriyal It’s funny how we keep 'evolving' by adding more layers of abstraction to our job titles. First, we automated the infrastructure; now we’re automating the automation, and tomorrow we’ll probably be 'Cloud Architects of the Third Paradigm.' It’s getting to the point where I spend more time updating my LinkedIn headline than my actual stack. Are we really solving complexity, or just creating more specialized silos for it?

Who thinks that DevOps is tools have never understanding what DevOps really it is. Your illusion of DevOps is probably dieing, good news.

DevOps is actually growing. Platform engineering is part of mature DevOps. It always was.

This is excellent "DevOps is NOT dead. But evolving."!
