Ah the classic ivory tower argument where some “other class” of engineers are universally inept, but not “my class!”

You can write the same screed full of generalizations from the perspective of any job title: a devops person would lament the fresh-out-of-bootcamp “application developers” who have no idea how systems work together so write SQL queries that retrieve a million rows, one at a time. “Works on my local!”

I completely agree. Access to those things should be given to those qualified to work with them, not based on an arbitrary role designation.
