How 'DevOps' is Killing the Developer (2014) (jeffknupp.com)

Nah. More like killing the operations guys.

If the developers can do everything the operations guys can, but the ops guys can’t do everything the devs can, then businesses will throw out all the ops guys and replace them with devs that can do everything. And have to do everything.

Ops guys are a cost center. Devs are a profit center. All business exists for the sole purpose of eliminating all costs and maximizing all profits.

You should be able to figure out from there where the devs versus ops question goes.
