It's funny how a term that defines a culture is now used to describe a role. If you know how to manage cloud stacks, provisioning, CI/CD pipelines, etc then you are a "DevOps engineer". I personally don't like that. It's like calling modern developers "Agile Engineers" or something like that. And now that "DataOps" movement is gaining traction, I've already started to see "DataOps Engineer" posted on job boards.

"DevOps" == "sysadmin who can program a bit".

This in contrast to "sysadmin who can configure your Cisco and your Outlook".

The difference is crucial in data centers where you need automation for sysadmin tasks. (I.e., all of them.)

Related tangent: "Full-Stack" engineers -- which stack? If it doesn't include the network layer, it ain't "full" in my book.

lol. It's just MVC framework + Javascript framework. Basically what a software web developer should know.
