Magic: The Gathering – DevOps Deck | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps

There is a direct correlation between people who played Magic: The Gathering growing up and people in the DevOps space

Magic: The Gathering - DevOps Deck
By Necco Ceresani

I can’t say I was entirely surprised when I saw a direct correlation between people who played Magic: The Gathering growing up and people in the DevOps space now. I loved Magic: The Gathering growing up and so did most of my co-workers. Building out decks, trading cards, and finding the perfect combinations to destroy my opponents were all what made the game worth while to us. If you are anything like me, you still flip through your old deck every now and again reminiscing on the good ol’ days of mountain dew and pizza bagels. But alas, we are adults, we work in IT and Magic: The Gathering has for many of us (not all) become a nostalgic memory fondly remembered.

What do we say to the god of death? Not Today! So I starting building out a DevOps Set and thought you might enjoy it. This was super fun and I encourage you to build your own DevOps Set cards (post them to @XebiaLabs on Twitter), I want to see all of your creativity. Enjoy.

Who are you? How do you introduce yourself? Do you use a name, or do you greet a friend by the last four digits of his social security number? Assuming you don’t, why are we content to associate our identity with 10 random digits assigned by our phone company? Identity is an issue that affects everyone, but as individuals we don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it.
