I was reading a blog post that tries to answer the question “Is DevOps Subversive?” and my first question was “what is this DevOps thing anyway?” After doing some reading about the subject (check out http://dev2ops.org/blog/2010/2/22/what-is-devops.html) I pretty much came to the conclusion that this is the kind of mentality that ITIL tries to promote and it isn’t some  crazy “let’s overthrow I.T.” scheme. Removing the wall between development and operations would only help to increase flexibility while maintaining stability and it will only prove a benefit in the long run. Once again it goes with the “one mentality” culture that I keep seeing from various blogs, presentations and articles.

Started working in IT in 1999 as a support desk analyst as a way to help pay for food during college. Studied Electrical Engineering for two years before realizing biochemistry was more fun than differential equations, and so ultimately graduated with a Biology degree in 2006. Having (reluctantly) failed at getting accepted into dental school, embraced working in IT and has gone broke becoming an ITIL Expert. Likes to jog, sing camp songs, quote Mel Brooks movie lines and make dumb jokes and loves working for an Israeli tech company where December 25th is a regular work day.
