    Sent this as an internal work message but I think it applies to many other companies too:

    I've had an interesting (to me) revelation - much of the last decade or so of software dev was spent introducing the concept of DevOps, where the people _developing_ the software also _operate_ the software.

    With non-devs developing code now, that concept is being deconstructed again - I don't think non-devs will be able to operate the software in a meaningful way any time soon.

    A concrete way in which that surfaces is that we have a lot of noise in our exception monitoring right now and it is purely on devs to fix that, irrespective of who introduced the problem.

    IMO the consequence will be that devs are shifting more into operations and can spend less time developing new features.

    We should keep an eye on this; it may be good / productive to a degree but there is a reason this separation is/was widely considered problematic.

    So I guess everyone can be a [mediocre] dev now, but not everyone can be a devOps person still
