DevOps is the latest big trend in hiring, everybody is talking about DevOps, and everybody wants them. Here's the confusing part, there's no such thing as DevOp. What you're actually looking for is a developer with some experience and knowledge as a system administrator, or possibly a system administrator with some experience and knowledge as a programmer.

- 5. but what is the game? “I’ll tell you EXACTLY what devops means. Devops means giving a shit about your job enough to not pass the buck. Devops means giving a shit about your job enough to want to learn all the parts and not just your little world. Developers need to understand infrastructure. Operations people need to understand code. People need to fucking work with each other and not just occupy space next to each other.” John Vincent | @lusis | http://bit.ly/12DkRhf

- 23. jesse’s rule “don’t fight stupid, make more awesome” Jesse Robbins, Co-founder, Opscode @jesserobbins
- 24. what does devops mean? “when confronted with the question, ‘Are you a DevOps?’ I answered the only way I knew how. Someone was asking me not whether I was qualified to fill a role, but whether I believed in a movement. Whether flow was of the utmost importance. Whether communication was more important than silos. ‘Of course not, are you an Agile?’” Dave Mangot | @davemangot | http://bit.ly/16YHqu3
- 25. takeaways devops is a mindset, not a tool or a team or a role innovation is in your culture, not a product innovation culture doesn’t punish failure you can’t innovate with command and control go forth and make awesome!
