I keep seeing a pattern of sre/devops/sysadmin tasks being given back to developers and canning the SREs. Hard to understand why. Then some of the SWE get stuck basically focussing on infra SRE stuff and become unwilling SRE more or less. Circle of life? Do the old devops folks get made into glue or something?

If i interpreted the "trend" correctly, "devops" was bastardized away from its original meaning to now mean "sysadmin", at least in most cases.

Yeah. A "DevOps" is just a "sysadmin" who can pretend they don't hate all developers for stretches of 20 minutes at a time. (I'm kidding. I know our SysAdmins love us... In their own secret ways.)
