You cannot have everybody do full stack development and devops and [insert whatever specialization you have here]. I know great programmers that got stuck in another specialty (because my company tried to create such broad specialization employees) and left, because they were only interested in a field, like backend programming or mobile. But they never said "I don't want to do sysop because it's not hot", they said "I don't want to do sysop because it's not my job".
I'm a programmer that now trains as a DBA+sysop and I like it. I saw condescending (brogrammer style "I'm way cooler than you") types in both camps, but usually from the guys that never tried to understand somebody else('s job). For my colleagues I tried to create small presentations like "this is what a DBA can do to help you and this is the way you can help them" and "what an usual programmer knows about databases" to bring the camps closer together and to understand eachother.
