A path to DevOps When Lara Hogan asked Bridget Kroumhout (on stage, at Velocity), "So, how did you get tricked into operations?" it was funny, but it got Kroumhout thinking. It's a question she's been asked before, and has sometimes been at a loss for an answer since she didn't follow a plan originally. Kroumhout now offers a plan-a wonderfully thoughtful and pragmatic set of resources beginning with culture (e.g., if you work in tech for even a little while, you'll notice that you have a lot of social and economic privilege, no matter your demographic identity, because you have more choices in your work and life than do many of your fellow humans), tools, education, community, and how to launch your career. Even if you're already well established, this is worth a read if only to rekindle your fire.

We wrote back in August about 3 "litmus test" questions about #DevOps in your organisation. We'd like to add 3 more questions that focus on the more operational aspects of DevOps.
