As if "devops" were a job... at most companies the sad reality is that the ops team gets fired and the developers who often enough don't even have more understanding of a Linux shell than ls/cd/cat/rm get told "you're also doing ops now, have fun!".

Inevitably, issues will plop up - hacks, data loss, site going down over the weekend because there's no 24/7 on-call any more - and then management comes down to the devs and whines "what's the cause of problem X"... and fires the rest when they say "we're developers, not SREs and server administrators".

It is, at most companies it is just Systems Engineer rebranded.
