In retrospect, DevOps was a bad idea
a year ago
- #DevOps
- #Platform Engineering
- #Software Development
- DevOps initially improved deployment by involving developers in production processes.
- Naming DevOps led to the creation of DevOps teams, which isolated operations again.
- DevOps teams now restrict rather than empower developers, counter to the original intent.
- Standardization and compliance in DevOps often hinder rather than help development teams.
- Security should focus on transparency and reviewability, not restrictive access.
- Formalizing DevOps roles removed production-minded engineers from product teams.
- Platform Engineering is repeating the same mistakes as DevOps.
