No doubt you have heard that software is eating the world and possibly even that developers are the new kingmakers. If all this is true, then there is a lot of responsibility that now rests with developers (for people practicing DevOps, this is also self-evident). Even before the rise of DevOps, developers were effectively entrusted with a lot of responsibility for the success of the business. Millions of dollars, or in some cases even lives, could be at stake.
Surely you have heard that with great power comes great responsibility? The flip side of this “new kingmaker” capability is that now (a lot) more is expected of developers.
