Comment Re:What's DevOps? (Score 1) 166

I've also seen DevOps manifested as developers doing Operations and getting paid developer salaries. It's little solace that the dumbass organization has chosen a bad economy, that is thinking that they can pare down their Operations team but not realizing their developers are losing weeks to learning the intricacies of creating cloud configuration scripts, when that's not the work you want to be doing as a developer.

They've used drones for investigations 10 times this year, 500 times next year, 12,000 times the year after that, and so on ... And why the need to redact so heavily a report on conventional law enforcement operation which took place in the past? The redaction would make more sense if TFA had been referring to a military or Intelligence operation, but this was just a kidnapping case...?
