Well, I meant to type "DevOps" ...

but what I typed was "DevOops"

Perhaps more accurate, but still...

(Like the typo in the first edition of my 1994 Internet users book, where
I typed -- and the "copyeditor" (not one of us) missed

    email newfies

when I of course meant

    email newbies

In some apology somewhere, I claimed I was referring to those trusty 
tech-enabled large, sturdy Newfoundland dogs, slogging through the snows 
with a (then-considered-) mobile radiotelephone and terminal device 
instead of a small cask of water or rum... rather than, of course, 
pejoratively referring to the inhabitants of Canada's most easterly 
province.)
