When you hear the term "DevOps," what comes to mind?
For me, DevOps is all about:
- Collaboration: Breaking down silos between development and operations teams, fostering a culture of shared responsibility.
- Automation: Streamlining processes with automation—from code testing to deployment—to increase efficiency and reduce errors.
- CI/CD: Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines that ensure faster, reliable software releases.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Treating infrastructure with the same rigor as application code, using tools like Terraform and Kubernetes.
- Continuous Monitoring: Always improving by monitoring and feeding insights back into the development process.
- Speed and Agility: Responding quickly to market demands and delivering value faster.
In essence, DevOps is more than just a set of tools or practices—it's a mindset that transforms how teams build, deploy, and manage software.

"We don't have the budget to hire a sysadmin so we'll just ask the devs to do infra".
My managers insist on calling me a "devops" (which is not even supposed to be a role AFAIK), and I make a point in every performance review or meeting with a client to introduce myself as a the "lead developer and systems administrator"
