    “The accumulated filth of all their technical debt and poor communication will foam up about their waists and all the developers and managers will look up and shout “Save us!
    ... and I’ll look down, and whisper “No.”
    

    Pretty dramatic. And kinda funny, in its pompous way.

    I read this a while ago in a DevOps Slack; and while it’s over the top (and callous for rejecting to help), I can’t help but think it rings true.

    The weight of software increases across all industries, and many organisations are slow to catch on.

    And what used to be a minor annoyance now turns into a life-threatening quagmire which can swallow companies whole.

    If you wonder whether you can afford to introduce DevOps – I in turn wonder if you can afford not to.
