> It doesn't help that, at least in my experience, a lot of "pure" software developers absolutely want nothing to do with the ops side, preferring to work on new features and just code, and vice versa. I have almost the exact opposite problem with some of my team, where they want to spend a lot more time on the Operational side. This is a mixed blessing - they'll learn the depths of various AWS things that are painfully boring to me - but I'd rather they were writing code instead of mucking around looking for some magic AWS solution to solve some specific use case.

  > from a business perspective This is true that from business perspective if there was a way to completely cut off engineers and replace them with low-code / saas offerings -> we all would be out of the job next week. Fortunately for us engineering is quite complicated.
