> They can deploy applications to Kubernetes clusters but couldn’t design a simple op-amp circuit

And the ones who can design a op-amp circuit can't manufacture the laminate their circuit is going to be printed on. And the ones who know how to manufacture the laminate probably doesn't know how to refine or synthesize the material from the minerals. And probably none of them knows how to grow and fertilize the crop to feed themselves.

No one knows everything. Collaboration has been how we manage complexity since we were biologically a different species than H. sapiens.

It was not a great remark indeed, however, most modern devops we meet (all seniors, big corps) know nothing lower level, often not much about Linux or what the coding etc. And it is always terrible: like LLMs, they like adding complexity: just put a nlb with an alb and private link with a gateway with a nlb with an alb! These guys (sorry, it is generally guys) believe they are experts but they are terrible. Get paid as experts though.

You don't have to know everything but BASIC understanding about the what is underneath would be nice.
