ALL of this. I started out in old-fashioned sysadmin, so I've always been "the developer on my team who isn't afraid of ops". Which means I become, by default, the devops guy if there isn't already one. And I see my fellow engineers being kind of afraid not just of the servers but of their own machines, and I'm like, "Dude...you are a wizard. The machine exists to do what you tell it to do. You'd better know exactly how to tell it how to do stuff and why and when."

I don't understand any developer who doesn't get that...
