Like many things, DevOps works until it doesn't. The problem is that when DevOps fails, that failure is spectacular and is often company ending.
Every time I read a story of a DevOps success, it;s really clear that the biggest advantage was gained in simply getting rid of layers of bureaucracy.

A team of scientists and researchers from various institutions made a controversial claim that shakes all conventional knowledge of space and time. They say that there are parallel universes with multiple timelines. If this claim is indeed real, then time travel is a possibility. My great-great grandson just showed up and said, "No it isn't"
|
|
|
|
|
A) No.
B) That's not time travel.
C) Don't give me "possible"; give me "achievable".

Depends on how you define time travel. If as a strict movement against the flow of time in your specific space then yes, that is not time travel. If as a relative movement against time then maybe it is. If you perceptually move from current-day to a parallel world which in every way and molecule resembles 1986 you have effectively gone back 30 years for all purposes perceivable to you.

what do you expect from a site that spends ~4x as much space on clickbait and filler UI as on content.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
