I find it telling that so many people are so irked by the change in the nomenclature of ops. There are many people and businesses who have set their stall out to be transformative agents in operations, moving from old ops to devops.

But the problem is that devops has gone from being aspirational for many to the de facto for many.

It's the post devops world. There is no devops anymore, just ops.

The problem I have with the DevOps label is that it is trying to lump yet another task on the overwhelming heap that is your average system administrator's task list - namely, doing the actual coding and developing of the system you're managing.

In my 20 years of experience, the two roles of developer and admin have had very conflicting purposes in that one is encouraged to change and expand systems, while the other is encouraged to stabilize and reliably maintain. The conflict can only serve to make one role suffer over the other, or provide poor quality results for both.
