Not really about DevOps

This is not about DevOps hiring. It is about hiring in general I was hoping for much more by way of DevOps specific material.

DevOps is in the title only to have a buzzword. This is about hiring and not even a bit innovative.

This book has nothing to do with Devops or their hiring.

It's just a generalized rant about HRs and their hiring practices.

The advice is solid, but... wow, it's a printed blog post, 10 pages long.
