" summary

Claim: a lasting web-ops career requires treating work as a craft, adding operational thinking into development, and accepting on‑call accountability so deployed code is debuggable in production. Evidence: virtualization (not “the cloud”) enabled minute‑scale provisioning; common stacks cited (JavaScript, PHP, HTML/CSS, C/C++, TCP/IP, HTTP, WebSockets, databases) must be designed for introspection. Provocation: DevOps is incomplete so adopt StarOps mentality. Opening gimmick: 80 slides in 14 minutes.
