The DevOps Revolution

My old CTO used to say “show me the money or show me the door” whenever anyone pitched a new tech initiative. Smart guy. Wish more executives thought like that.
Problem is, when it comes to DevOps, most teams are terrible at connecting their fancy automation to actual business value. They’ll spend six months setting up CI/CD pipelines, then when asked about ROI, they mumble something about “developer productivity” and hope nobody asks for specifics.
I’ve been doing this for 15 years. Seen companies waste millions on DevOps theater while others get massive returns from simple changes. The difference? The successful ones actually track what matters.
