Time To Move on from DevOps and Continuous Delivery, Says Google Advocate (zdnet.com)

A reader shares a report: Continuous improvement and continuous delivery (CI/CD) and DevOps may be on many peoples' minds these days, but there's nothing particularly new about the concept -- software shops should have put these concepts into action years ago. Instead, technology leaders should be now worrying about the futures of their businesses. That's the view of Kelsey Hightower, staff developer advocate at Google Cloud Platform, who says too many IT leaders are debating how to manage IT operations and workflows, when their businesses are being hit with unprecedented disruption. "CI/CD is a done deal -- like 10 years ago it was a done deal," he said in a recent podcast with CTO Advisor's Keith Townsend. "There is nothing to figure out in that domain. A lot of people talk about DevOps, and there may be some culture changes, in number of people who can do it or are allowed to do it. For me, that is the table stakes. CI/CD, DevOps; we have to say, listen, figure it out, or go work with another team outside this company to figure it out."

Those are the people who fire competent engineers because they don't drink the diversity kool-aid. Too busy with their social agendas they couldn't even build their own cloud automation, they had to buy it from Twitter, and somehow we're supposed to listen to their advice?

Congratulations on having a "staff developer advocate" (whatever the fuck that is) that is part of a prized minority, but really, fuck off google. Spend less time reading motherjones.com and jezebel.com, and more time reading o'reilly books like real software engineers, then maybe your opinion will be newsworthy.
