  20. Re:IT is out, DevOps is in on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Hard Truths IT Must Learn To Accept? (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds like some MBA heard about DevOps and thought he needed to get himself some of that.

    I can just see one doing that. In those exact words, in fact.

    DevOps simply means organizing IT so that development and operations are no longer in separate silos as they are in traditional IT, with oft lengthy and thoroughly formal handovers between the two.

    Isn't that just good management/common sense?

    Having said that, lengthy formal handovers are not a bad thing per se. Ever played computer volleyball - where the dev team's sole goal in life is to knock things over the net to support as quickly as possible, regardless of whether they're documented, tested, or even finished?

    And posting job openings for "DevOps engineers" is about as dumb as asking a job applicant for certification in "Agile".

    I'm pretty sure I've seen that.

    So they were using trial and error, but it wasn't science? In any case, your premise that there was no chemistry except for whatever lofty purpose you claimed is bollocks.

    What I find interesting is that there are contemporary accounts from the 15th century describing the different colours worn by noble's retainers. Funny that, if dyes weren't invented until centuries later. Wouldn't they all be off-white?
