A Brief, Incomplete and Mostly Wrong Devops Glossary
Blog post from Earthly
Earthly's blog post humorously critiques traditional DevOps glossaries by presenting a satirical version that highlights the often chaotic and unpolished reality of the DevOps world. It playfully redefines common roles and concepts in the field, such as DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, and chaos engineering, poking fun at the jargon and stereotypes within the industry. The glossary uses humor to emphasize the disconnect between idealized industry terminology and the practical challenges faced daily by professionals, while also suggesting that there may be more to explore in a potential follow-up. The post is written by Adam Gordon Bell, who is associated with Earthly and known for hosting the CoRecursive podcast.
