Not really sure I understand what you are saying.

Ops is not hard. A good dev can do it. I am a developer, not an ops person. I have written 100s of ansible scripts. I have dealt with deployments of single servers up to 100 servers across all kinds of hosts.

Your argument is "OPS PERSON CAN CODE TOO"

My argument is "DEV PERSON CAN OPS TOO"

Really labels are stupid.

I took it as a lampoon on the "Full stack dev in x" bullshit that gets tossed around. It does sound insane to expect the devs to also be marketing gurus and finance experts and legal wizards... but no one bats a eye at the idea of "PhD. ML who also knows front end JS".
