That is sadly often true today, but not inevitable! When you are overwhelmed with complexity, a natural defense mechanism is to restrict choice. But with better tooling, you can better manage and reduce complexity, which allows you to say "yes" to developers without compromising on reliability and security. That is what we are trying to enable with Dagger.

I think the opposite cannot be true, because developers come physically before operations.

Isn't it actually devops engineers' job to make it so?

So much for "devops" merging together development and operations.

"A developer’s dream is a devops engineer’s nightmare" underines the failure of devops.
