It's odd to me to see people who don't want to understand the next level from any current level. A front end person who doesn't care how the backend works, or a backend person who doesn't care how the database works, etc... Obviously there is only so much time in the day, but being comfortable digging down to whatever level is necessary to debug something is a valuable skill.

Not sure if it's still asked, but reminds me of a class interview question. "When a user presses a button on a web page, describe in as much detail as possible what happens."
