As a developer, I'm not happy about it either. I'm now expected to write code, as fast as possible, and then handle all the ops / sysadmin tasks too, which I don't enjoy and am not really equipped to handle.

But wait, aren't you "full-stack"? That means you also know all the minutia of UI animation rendering performance optimizations across the mobile landscape, right?
I can "get by", but that doesn't mean I'm able to do an excellent job on every aspect. It's definitely a long chain of compromises.
My point precisely.
Yes! Most developers don't want to do operations work. It's not their specialty, and often uninteresting to them. A good team will let developers actually develop.
