DevOps guy here! Completely agree.

Reliable infrastructure at the cost of velocity isn't just good practice, it's self-preservation if you're ops.

Yeah. I think that's a huge part of the reason why the so-called 'full stack developers' will probably never obviate pure 'DevOps' roles. A lot of people can't wrap their heads around why setting up infrastructure takes so much time, and focus attention on speed of raw product (code) delivery.
