Is it me or do you guys also cringe every time you read an article like this? This one in particular was sponsored to me by MSN today...

It makes me cringe because it's nonsense. It reads as if somebody is just rambling and asking a bunch of hypotheticals. I did not get the point. Sorry if I'm just being ignorant.

Read the article and still didn't understand what NoOp was, had to google it to figure out what the heck they were talking about. Poorly written article.

Poorly-written article for people who don't understand IT. If you actually work in IT, this is a filter to separate people who know things from those who don't.

If you work in a DevOps environment or your organization embraces the DevOps culture, the word "NoOps", will probably not be new to you.

Agreed this is a poorly written article. What it fails to address is the primary business function of the organizations. Firstly some basic questions need to be answered. A.) Is your company primarily a business who delivers software services to external customers. And that majority of the IT Staff are software developers/engineers, etc. Or B.) Your company is a business who produces truck tires and maybe have 3 programmers at max on staff. If your attempt to apply this methodology to the wrong business model, it could cost your corporation heavily. Plus, industry number have shown that DevOps shops often are pronged to poor compliance in regulated industries. Which is why DevOps should always be more 50/50 vs 90/10. Most 'software factories' are more interested in pushing software and releases vs security and compliance.
