As a "DevOps Engineer" I strongly agree we need to stop using the term, at least as a job title. Where I work, I help automate our infrastructure management and develop tools that make it easier for product engineers to do DevOps, such as making monitoring solutions easier, injecting deployment credentials into CI/CD pipelines, abstracting certain common but complex architectures, etc...
But at least half of the recruitors who contact me clearly expect me to be a glorified sysadmin who codes maybe one day a month. It's bad enough that I changed my job title on LinkedIn to "Software Engineer (DevOps)" which seems to have helped a little bit.
