In an era where developers are increasingly expected to handle operations tasks, this InfoWorld article discusses the growing discontent among developers and operations specialists. The ‘You build it, you run it’ model has led to overwhelming responsibilities and created bottlenecks due to different skill sets. The article suggests that a shift in responsibilities could be the solution, where developers have more control over development and testing environments without being fully responsible for production. It also discusses the rise of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) as a popular solution to balance developer velocity and operational stability. Interested to hear your thoughts on this topic!

    Really well written perspective we don’t get to hear from enough. Can I ask what sector you work in? Is it a regulated one, like a bank? Or is it more agile? Are you running your stack in Kubernetes and/or in the public cloud, or any cloud really?

    Part of me wants to agree with you wholeheartedly but the DevOps apologist inside of me wants to prosletyze so bear with me.
