DevOps Isn’t a Role — It’s a Culture. Here’s How I Finally Got It

Hey everyone 👋

I’m a self-taught dev currently diving into the software world — and recently, I decided to go deep into DevOps. Not just the tools, but the mindset behind it.

And here’s the thing that most tutorials don’t really tell you:

I used to think DevOps was about CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and cloud stuff. But the deeper I explored, the more I realized that DevOps is really about:

• One team, one goal — not dev vs ops
• Shared responsibility — no finger-pointing
• Fast feedback — build, test, learn, repeat
• Culture over tools — trust + collaboration

That shift in mindset changed how I see software development as a whole.

DevOps isn’t a department. It’s not a tool. It’s a culture that helps teams build better software together — and I honestly think every developer should understand that, even if they’re just starting out.

This isn’t something you find in surface-level tutorials — you have to go a little deeper to see it.
