"It has been a dramatic and challenging year for developers and engineers working in devops organizations. More companies are using AI and automation for both development and IT operations, including for writing requirements, maintaining documentation, and vibe coding. Responsibilities have also increased, as organizations expect devops teams to improve data quality, automate AI agent testing, and drive operational resiliency. AI is driving new business expectations and technical capabilities, and devops engineers must keep pace with the speed of innovation."
"Devops teams are looking for ways to reduce stress and ensure team members remain positive through all the challenges. At a recent event I hosted on how digital trailblazers reduce stress, speakers suggested several stress reduction mechanisms, including limiting work in progress, bringing humor into the day, and building supportive relationships. As we head into the new year, now is also a good time for engineers and developers to set goals for 2026."
AI and automation are increasingly used across development and IT operations for tasks such as writing requirements, maintaining documentation, and vibe coding.

Rapid AI-driven innovation raises business expectations while the industry faces significant tech layoffs. DevOps teams are adopting stress-reduction practices like limiting work in progress, using humor, and building supportive relationships. Engineers should set 2026 goals focused on AI-enabled software development, shifting learning toward AI tools, and integrating AI into workflows to enhance productivity and reliability.
