I've been primarily front end through my career. It's always interested me to know more about the backend. I have tried to do little toy projects to learn, especially after our ops and backend were particularly guarded/off limits (for a time). Nothing going to get me more curious than telling me I shouldn't worry about them, someone else can do it for me...

That's something that's passed for me thankfully, and there's more willingness to let devs poke around and work together (Yay teamwork!) where we didn't used to. I'm still not even remotely close to being an expert, but I at least don't feel like a fish out of water when dealing with some of our ops or backend.

Long story short: yes, I'm interested and think it's good to know even a little something.
