Automation is seen as a sign of progress when in reality it is only choking the people of well-paying jobs. Allowing a machine to take the place of a human also leaves more room for error, confusion, and risk of the machine malfunctioning. People get…

What is DevOps DevOps is a practise, based on agile and lean that unites the development and operation tasks of a software development. With DevOps most of the development and release processes are automated. Automation in-turn results in fast flow of planned work, with increased stable, reliable and secured product. Figure 1 - Diagram from https://en.wikipedia.org depicting DevOps as the intersection of development (software engineering), operations and quality…
