DevOps culture
CALMS, shift-left, and "you build it, you run it" — culture sold as tooling, tooling sold as culture.
Why DevOps culture stuck
DevOps stuck where ownership of deploy and on-call actually moved. It failed as a job title and tool checklist that left silos intact. Containers and CI made the practices tangible; the durable win is shared responsibility, not a Jenkins plugin.
