Infinite loops and the True Meaning of DevOps (Forrest Brazeal on Twitter)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/05

[Wayback/Archive] Forrest Brazeal on Twitter: “Multiple people on LinkedIn have commented on this to swear they’ve seen people DELIBERATELY SHIP INFINITE LOOPS to justify their infra footprint That, my friends, is the true meaning of DevOps”
