I disagree. Maybe, there's a couple of guys/gals around that can go up and down the software and hardware stack and know where issues may lie when there's a problem, but I doubt there are many. As a someone that's been in the tech industry a very long time, I came to the realization a long time ago that I couldn't be the expert at everything. Can I dabble in Oracle, Windows, Linux? Sure, would I want to bet my job on how much I know some of these products in the time of crisis, hell No!!!

My last job as an employee, I had to install AWS, develop some server software, develop some web facing software, develop some embedded software (with a bit of easy real time), get the freaking 2G to work, get the sensors to work properly, model the mechanical parts to install the embedded device on site, order all that crap (electronics and mechanics) from the providers, create the boxes, try to think about lightnings and how not to fry the customer's equipment. And get the sandcastle to stay put. That's what happens when you work at startups, there is no plethora of employees, and a lot of work.
