> Remember, if you have a DevOps Team, then you are absolutely not doing DevOps. Developers should be involved in managing everything about their applications, including infrastructure.

I think the intent here is a good one. You as a developer should be involved with how your software is deployed and managed. It's just that there is a pretty grey boundary between where developer involvement ends and ops involvement begins.

Another issue is that devops is extremely poorly defined. Some people insist this means only writing chef scripts. Some people it's diagnosing and fixing production issues. Some people it's just sysadmin work. Or other responsibilities and combinations.
