I've known quite a few software engineers who just don't bother to learn anything about the tooling they use to create and deploy code. For younger, new developers, I can understand it when everything is presented as an app with minimal customization, but for mid-levels and senior engineers I am baffled by the lack of curiosity.
Sometimes just a couple of simple howto sessions can be incredibly useful, especially for teams just starting on a new project. I've given tutorials on Git basics, command line basics, workflow basics, and AWS terminology. Each time I've had engineers say it was like learning computing for the first time, because apparently newer engineers just don't get taught this stuff.
This is partly why I enjoy improving the developer "experience" (DevEx) alongside my normal DevOps duties.
