My official title is DevOps, but my coworkers know that I'm just the most cloud-oriented developer on the team. In that regard I also regularly push code into our products, with an insistence that I am not simply the guy that does AWS/Jenkins/Ansible work. So, in one respect I entirely agree that DevOps is just another developer, at least the way I practice it. That being said, it's naive to think that DevOps isn't a specialization, or that everyone writing your code is going to be equally knowledgable on a product landscape as complex as AWS. Ultimately where you fall on the spectrum of developer and ops is company specific, even project specific, and to try and make some generalizable dogma on the issue is a waste of time.
