But DevOps does not mean "devs" doing "ops"! I feel like I'm repeating myself now, but devops is a culture promoting lean-inspired practises to reduce batch size and increase cadence. Go back to the original clique of people who started talking about devops and that was what they were discussing.

I can absolutely see how the name "devops" is confusing and easily lead to the sort of misunderstanding your comment propagates. I don't know why they picked that name. Maybe it was about applying concepts from operations research and business operations into development -- who knows.

Either way, the way I read your comment, it is more proof that the name is misleading and should be retired.
