I genuinely don’t believe you’re coming at this from a business stakeholder POV, which is fair for HN. But if you have to advocate for a devops org outside of some massive global scale or as a small % of revenue, you’re doing something wrong.

Unfortunately a proven playbook for struggling devops teams is to just fire all the devops and infra folks, which seems to help with platform stability, recruiting, and velocity year over year.

Your opening assumption is false. I start and run businesses.

Any reference to “devops team” is also automatically failing at devops. It’s not a job, a task, or a team. I don’t spare much time for folks encumbered by a silo mindset. It’s the antithesis of a service/product-team approach, and (to the actual point) does nothing to oppose the myopia I’m accusing the JS ecosystem of.
