Then perhaps you ought to sit with the folks I'm consulting for at the moment, who have a DevOps team who have failed to deliver a reproducible system for over two years and still have the attitude that they're the superior race.

I’m sorry to hear that, but have you considered the possibility that the team you work with is not emblematic of the entire industry?

Indeed, that's just my current experience.

That said, they are highly paid, London financial world folks, so you'd hope they'd be good.

I also hear from a developer I work with who has recently defected back from devops style roles to devs that this is not atypical. He seems to place blame at least partially on "The Phoenix Project" for the attitude!
