it wasn't his own thing and there wasn't the scale yet to have it was a proper position, but when you were moving connection strings in a config file and linking it in etc you were doing devops. when you were building a shell script to fetch pinned dependencies so that the environment was repeatable, you were doing devops. weekend you were automating the package build/install and putting these files in CVS, you were doing devops.

heck we had versioned openpkg scripts in 200something to quickly rotate servers during upgrades, that wasn't called with fancy names and wasn't a standalone role but the seed was there.
