The times I've been stuck doing "DevOps", I mostly rue the loss of the quality assurance culture (values) we once had.

Best I can tell, like Agile Methodology, Skype, and open offices, "DevOps" is edgy jargon the financial people came up with to screw us knowledge workers.

I imagine myself trailing a parade, wearing oversized shoes, a rainbow fro, painted on happy face, and red nose, pushing a wheel barrow, scooping up the messes left by horses and elephants.

Some orgs seem to have figured out how to turn lemons into lemonade. That dude from Gilt has a "Test Into Prod" thesis that seems to square the circle. (I can't say from personal experience, but someday hope to work somewhere willing to try it.)
