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 developerand systems administrator"

I hear you, Nicolas! The "DevOps" title often gets misused, especially when organizations try to stretch resources without fully understanding the distinct roles involved.
I've been in a similar situation where I was asked to handle infrastructure on top of my development duties, only to be labeled as a "DevOps" engineer. Like you, I make it a point to clarify my role as aLead Developer and Systems Administrator—it’s crucial to accurately represent the work we do and the expertise we bring to the table.
It's great to see others standing up for the proper definitions and responsibilities in our field.
