Do you currently work in the Dev Ops environment?

I was recently asked:

"Do you currently work in the Dev Ops environment?"

Here's my answer:

No, the devops is not really a thing. The devops is the intersection of development and operations skills. In reality a devops culture is still built around product. A dev team takes control over its ops concerns to ensure they deliver the best product the can. When someone "specializes" in the devops, they are no longer focused on product and are no longer dev, they are ops. They may be ops for developers--helping build their development environments and playing an extremely important role--but they are no longer devs (for the product team).

Now... ops people who approach things from a software engineering perspective (automate all the things!) are extremely valuable. They probably are the best fit for your search for people to fill the devops role.
