Creating these strict barriers between teams, especially with the condescension you elicit is exactly how problems arise.
Suppose software engineers write an O(N^2) algorithm because they didn't think the data would grow large. It does. DevOps then launches many more dozens of computers to handle the algorithm. If no one speaks to eachother, everyone thinks things are going smoothly when in reality it's a complete disaster. The DevOps team has much more visibility into the usage, performance, and cost of apps than many developers. Talk to your breathen wisely.
