How do you create the best devop you can be? When building a devop, we usually think about our technical skills but often forget aspects of our personal brand including relationship building, reputation, communication... all on top of the awesomeness you already can do. Let's talk about building the 'well rounded devop'. After we've built the devop of our dreams, how do you keep such awesome devops working in your company?
