The Five Love Languages of DevOps

Often times we have conflicting incentives. Dev incented to ship features quickly. Ops incented for uptime (nancy example). These may actually not be at odds. Ultimately our driver should be to move the biz forward, at a macro level, but we have our individual incentives. Changing these isnʼt always right. Understanding what appears to be a conflict may actually help. Ship changes at a higher velocity can actually increase the stability of a system b/c small batch changes are more stable. Ship more frequently actually helps both dev and ops. Similarly, caring out uptime and stability can enable the dev to ship more features as they are not caught up in troubleshooting and have more resources available from ops, etc. Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Use - Daniel H.
