Earlier quoted context omitted.
I found this odd too. It reminded me of a book I read ages ago, sci-fi fantasy where there is a species that is very long-lived but they have a finite memory. Maybe if your memory is a year or two long then GitOps would seem to mean k8s deployments automatically out of git, rather than all the other things. (I think it was by C.S Friedman but I don't remember which one)
Perhaps you are thinking of the My Little Pony fanfiction "Alicorn Time" by author AlicornPriest. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/298141/alicorn-time
If I was I must have read it more than a few hours ago because I don't remember it :)
