Why DevOps Won’t Solve Everything

In a recent chat with LaunchDarkly CEO, Edith Harbaugh, DevOps pioneer Patrick Debois discussed the potential pitfalls of over-reliance on specific methodologies like DevOps. He emphasized that while these practices can be beneficial, they should not be seen as cure-alls for all problems in software engineering. Debois also highlighted the cyclical nature of movements within the development world and how they often get reduced to a set of practices people remember them for. The conversation touched on the importance of incremental progress, staying open to learning, and embracing pliability in processes to achieve long-term, generative growth.
