I find it very similar to how understanding of OS and hardware fundamentals can make one a much better software engineer, how infrastructure in the cloud/servers are setup helps make better design decisions.

At least in my experience, my hobby of maintaining my own home server helped out immensely in my path in the industry due to knowing what tools are available when working on multi-faceted software designs.
