So, I think that the article didn't strongly address what DevOps actually means. DevOps has come to mean a position on a team as opposed to an ideology like it is at the Google's of the world.
I disagree. I think the article speaks rather well about what DevOps is really about. There's actually a great deal of consensus within the community about it's meaning, and Mr. Kim has been a major contributing member for quite some time now. Every DevOpsDays since 2009 has critiqued and reaffirmed the ideals and principles. Have a look at vimeo.com/devopsdays or the wikipedia article for DevOps.
Swapping DevOps for PostOps or NoOps or FooOps doesn't change what it means.
Recruiters and managers starved for multidisciplinary, highly skilled T-shaped staff have started to throw the term around in job descriptions, but misuse of a term doesn't change it's meaning until the majority of its users adopt the evolution.
I find it a little strange that your blog post doesn't mention the term "continuous delivery". That's what many of us call what you call "devops". And yes, I and many others consider "devops" one of the key roles in a continuous delivery methodology.
