Shared responsibility and ownership of the environments, CICD, and the stack is waaaaay more effective than siloing ownership within one group. The scenario described here will result in lower reliability/quality and an engineering team that is ignorant of the tools they rely on.
So one engineer should be proficient in, Development, Dev Ops, Deployment, UI Testing, API Development, Sec ops, Database, QA Automation. This kind of person directly correlates to the over-bloated requirements companies put out in a job requisition.
The comments here aren’t about requiring uber-engineers who are experts in everything. It’s about building and developing a well-rounded team w/ a high level of collaboration vs just chunking everything over the wall to groups of siloed experts.
I very much see your point, however experts in all industries are needed to grab work over the wall. For example, if you have a heart problem you probably will not go see a dentist, if you need a hurricane destruction estimate you won't use an electrician, alternatively if a power transformer gets to hit you would not call a nurse to turn the power back on. Silos are needed because they can allow humans to become proficient at a skill.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
