Yup that's how I got depressed

I thought devops was a way to get a guy to do a whole team's job by giving him a silly title.

Well Devops isn't a role. It's an approach in which bridges development and operations and integrating it in the team. It isn't sticking a cloud engineer (cloud biased sysadmin) in the team. It's about collaboration and delegating and supporting.

Cloud engineer is unfortunately what many orgs think devops is.

Fancy title for the developer that gets yelled at when the CI pipeline is broken. Also a good chance they are the one that broke it.
