DevOps was the process of productionizing the system administration process: instead of a bunch of manual steps, devops engineers would instead produce automation scripts that would do those steps, that could be checked into a repo somewhere. Those scripts are a product of de devops team.

Companies that have functional devops teams are a minority. Most techorgs are simply fucked, using waterfall and methods from the 90s.

We can thus assume that most non-tech orgs are also fucked - full of employees doing manual things over and over again and never producing anything.

Maybe a SaaS app that ensures that organisational teams produce products - and show the flow of products between teams - would be good.

E.g:

• a design team produces a product: a design system, that can be consumed by other teams without much assistance
• a DevOps team produces self-serve automation tooling, that can be consumed by other teams without much assistance
• The management team... uhhhhhhhh
  • I think this is the important thing that orgs need to work on, and maybe software needs to mediate and enforce this
