I think I'm a bit skeptical of how different the responsibilities of a 'DevOps' are different from a traditional 'Developer' in terms of actual complexity. The whole discussion seems to reduce technological change to just a little tiny part of this 'transition' to DevOps. How can you even develop a web SaaS application without having a basic knowledge of sysadmin/networking/IT/etc? In my opinion technology changed and development methodologies followed. I wish the author proposed an alternative to status quo [that would resemble the past a bit more]. Can anyone? Of course adopting PaaS and especially BaaS solutions can change it, but again, that would be a technological change rather than just a methodology thing.
