Most sysadmins aren't LAMP (or LNMP, or LNPR, or whatever the flavor of the day) programmers, who know how to make a todo list "pop". They aren't javascript ninjas, who actually know how to interact with the DOM. They don't know how build models of black holes, or self-driving cars, or make enemy sprites hunt you down in an interesting way, or debug a GUI. Most software engineers couldn't do any of those tasks to the typical, silo-enforcing business asshole's liking (i.e. it needs to be done yesterday). That shouldn't matter. What matters is the ability to learn.
