The initial intention (of DevOps) was to eliminate these discrepancies by eliminating Ops department all together. DevOps doesn't necessarily mean devs doing ops, but it means devs and people curios about ops sit together, as one team, as one department, right next to each other. This setup improves practically every aspect of the product development, support, and delivery, as well as collaboration, communication, and response times.

Initial intention aside, it feels that there is a general consensus that VAST majority of the companies that have `devOps` in the job description somewhere are cargo culting and have no clue what they are doing.

If you slap `Dev` prefix to your Ops department your job postings will look "trendy" but nothing else will actually change.

DevOps is a culture, not a team or department.




Sounds like how companies or teams cargo-cult “Agile” and have no idea what it is or why.
