I don't doubt their title is developer, what I doubt is that their primary function isn't devops, etc.



>I don't doubt their title is developer,

I don't know any companies that use that word. Normally we are called software engineers. Amazon is the closest, with "software development engineer."

Nor do we use the word devops. Which is funny, because as I understand it, software engineers working on infrastructure automation in the same way that that we work on products are the closest thing to what "devops" envisions. The companies that are doing it don't use the word, and the companies that use the word are the most incredulous that anyone could be getting by without dev and (dev)ops as substantively separate roles. It would be almost as if the people who most liked to talk about Agile were the ones most invested in very long range estimation and planning. Oh wait..


So then concentrate on the idea behind the word and stop wasting peoples time.
