DevOps culture
summary
Claim: specialist handoffs create invisible queues that turn 20 hours of touch work into six weeks of delivery; a cross-functional team with automation reduces time to production from days to about 20 hours. Example: a packaging bottleneck takes four days and grows to 12 items queued (56 days to clear). Fixes tried: limit WIP to 3, move ops into teams, daily code checks, refactor monolith, add automated tests and pipelines to deploy in minutes; management expecting three months to fix three years of technical debt fails.
