DevOps
Anyone out there practicing DevOps?

Good feedback.
I can't find anything you've said to argue with - especially the view company's have towards generalizations; testing, dev, support. I've found silos at every company I've worked. And there's a reason. The software is generally so complex that everyone can't know everything.
I spoke with a recruiter recently and got the impression he was guiding me in the DevOps direction because he has a client with a vacancy which uses some of the DevOps buzzwords.
Figured I'd throw my 2 cents in here. My husband has a devops role, but at his company, this simply means he is knowledgeable about both operations (servers, networking, sysadmin stuff) and development. He works between those 2 teams, helping coordinate, avoid blame wars, and get problems fixed that need a multi-team approach. Devops doesn't really relate to testing, from what I can tell. It is the new "in" term, though, and as such probably means different things to different people. I feel like the intent was to have people who had skills in 2 areas, who could tackle problems that related to both areas with a more well-rounded perspective.
