I have been away for a while for a few reasons. One reason, I forgot I even had this blog. :) I was shocked to see I actually got some comments on some early post. Thanks, to those who did comment.
Another reason is that I went from software development into operations again. I could say that I was too busy fighting fires to keep up this blog and practice. If I am honest and I look back that would not be true. I could have taken this blog to another level while I was in ops, if I could have seen the bigger picture.
As I got more and more frustrated with the operations team lack of improvement and more frustrated with how development treated operations, I realized this process was just broken. I really had no solutions. I would tell operations to just take their beating and we can figure it out later. Ops kept pushing back on Dev. Dev stayed longer and longer on projects. Dev struggled with the turn around on ops deployments and requests. Ops struggle with transitions. Ops struggled with dev going around ops to get things done. How can this work? Honestly it works only because the client has low expectations and doesn't really know it could be better.
Then, just in a random passing I heard about something called "DevOps". (Wish I had heard about this years back but that was not my path to this passion)
This blog is going to be my thoughts and information as I stop focusing on Development or Operations and focus on DevOps.
