1. The document traces the history and evolution of management philosophies from Darwin's theory of natural selection and non-determinism in 1859 to modern DevOps practices. 2. Key figures discussed include Boltzmann, Planck, Einstein, Shewhart, Deming, Ohno, Goldratt, Poppendieck, Anderson, Bell, Blank, Ries, Sinek, and Kim who contributed ideas in fields like statistical mechanics, quantum physics, statistical process control, lean production, theory of constraints, agile software development, lean startup, and DevOps. 3. The modern DevOps movement, which aims to shorten development cycles and integrate operations into development, can trace its origins to
