DevOps before there was “devops” - 20yr old style
The year is 1996. A bright, resourceful 20 yr old Network Administrator at an ISP is tasked with a mundane, tedious project. Said 20 yr old feels he has a better way, and takes it upon himself to get creative. What follows is a quick journey down memory lane to a time before DevOps was DevOps, through the eyes of a 43yo looking back on his 20yo self.
Some of the takeaways here would be that:
- DevOps principles should be used for good
- Jeremy should not be asked to build a deck
- We’ve learned a lot since 1996, and yet we’ve forgotten a lot. Let’s get nostalgic.
