This article doesn't make any sense to me. DevOps from my perspective is CI/CD defined with a YAML file and using Docker biuld containers or custom GitLab Runners (or the Github equivalent), not something where programming in Python or Golang is needed.

What am I missing here?

You're missing what DevOps is - close personal collaboration between development and operational teams to further delivery goals.

When done right, the dev team IS the ops team.

The term DevOps has been bastardized so badly that nobody really knows anymore. At my current company, 'DevOps' are what we used to call sysadmins.

When I first heard the term, it was described to me as 'developers do their own operations.' Next it was 'developers work with operations.' Then it was 'operations, but working to support developers.' Now, it mostly means something between sysadmin and terraform wrangler, I think.

Who thinks about and manages the shared systems?

DevOps is what sysadmins do.
