Abstract:
Once, people used the word genius only when describing someone who really was a genius. Someone with extraordinary intellectual and perceptual capabilities. Today, every parent uses this word to describe their likely cognitively regular child. I find the same trend holds true for DevOps. And yet, that doesn't stop everyone from saying the word DevOps, a LOT (and more often than not, in a completely wrong context).
I'd like to suggest why I think this may damage a company and how the term should alternatively be treated.
