Who told you that?

Whoever didn't hire you wasn't looking for a software developer, they were looking for a devops guy. Its nice to know devops as a programmer, and I wish more programmers did, but most programmers I know actually flunk on anything sysadmin related.

If their criteria is devops, but they're looking for a programmer, they're going to get some dude that only knows Javascript and footguns the entire company into an early grave.

I agree.

I'd say it's nice to know about them and the basics as a Senior, but I don't think it's something needed to master.
