> Originally, DevOps was about trusting developers with production. But modern DevOps teams operate on the belief that developers can’t be trusted with production.

This right here pretty much discredits him (or her) completely; there's no way you would survive five minutes of an audit where developers have direct access to Prod in any kind of regulated business (finance, medical, banking, nuclear, military etc). This might be acceptable for an owner operated website that sells trading cards but absolutely not for any company > 500 employees.
