In his post “DevOps developers; don´t be a DevGoof” on devops.com Parker Yates pointed out, that developers have to become more social. Devs should better realize that they need to become a normal part of the business social structure. That is really true and extremely necessary to make DevOps more efficient. But is this the whole truth? And who is responsible for the social structures and the relationships? First let´s have a look at the devs. For me as a consultant working with people from IT I always get the impression that developers are creating a cult in being a “nerd”. They use being “nerds” as an excuse for not being compatible with the “others”! To be honest, this is a very cheap way of remaining within their own comfort zones! But perhaps we should take some time to ask for the “why?”! Developers are human beings, too. As is the case for all human beings, there is always a reason, why someone acts and behaves the way they do!...
