TLDR provided by ChatGPT:

As software development grows more complex, the devops approach, which merges software development and IT operations roles, is under scrutiny. Although devops has sped up updates and tightened feedback loops, it’s often overburdening individuals by blurring developer and operator roles. Developers have voiced reluctance to handle operations, citing the specialized skills needed. The potential solutions include realigning responsibilities to empower developers with timely information, using container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes to separate developer and operator concerns, and expanding the roles of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and platform engineering. The future of software development may require a blend of devops, SRE, and platform engineering to effectively address the growing complexity.

    I’m a dev manager in the exact opposite position - I don’t want to move away from devops activities, but rather own them all up. I want complete control over the pipelines. I want as close to 100% unit test, code coverage and integration tests as possible. I want to fully automate deployment (and rollback, if hell breaks loose). Clearly, I want to work with my devops team to ensure near perfect uptime, round-the-clock monitoring, etc. - but definitely not pushing it to someone else or another team. Even better if I have devops members that report to me.
