Surviving DevOps
summary
Argues that DevOps drives massive role change in legacy “horse” organisations and gives concrete practices: use nudge consulting and occasional JFDI decrees to seed change, hire exemplars, track surprising metrics like an average IT age of 54, and run small experiments while preserving institutional knowledge. Emphasizes patience—human rate of change is years—and evolution not Big Bang—evolution not revolution—plus humane exits and coaching so angry but engaged people become productive rather than discarded.
