While I agree that DevOps needs to be a mindset/culture to be of any benefit beside ticking buzzwords checkboxes - but I really don't see any harm in giving someone a title containing the word DevOps.

Someone who can do the proselytism, take initiatives to drive the adaption and at the same time be the go to guy for the technical knowledge needed for any new processes/tools.

We all agree that the old waterfall inspired way of working when the developers work on their own, throws a bunch of new code down a hatch for the ops guys to deploy and they both blame the other team when something don't work is less than desirable.

Maybe there are some startups that have the devops mindset already from the beginning and a few old companies that can get there on there own, but I think many need some help to get there. Perhaps they could hire someone to get them started?
