For me what upsets me about devops work, is that for many organizations it is a synonym for systems engineer, lots of Ops and very little Dev.


This. I didn't see any meaningful difference between 'devops' roles and 'sysadmin' roles. Devops is a more recent name which had a IaC movement behind it, but it looks like the name stayed, but the role regressed.


The term Devops has been almost completely co-opted by sysadmins at this point.

Platform engineering is a term I used to use in its place to try and differentiate but it seems that's being taken over now as well.


Being a company and having a job title with DevOps in the name is a great way to out yourself as not following the DevOps philosophy. It’s quite ironic. If you know you know.
