As a developer, I've had to tell "ops" how syslog() works. Also, as a developer, I've had "ops" bitch because we had different config files for the service. Yes, because the service is geographically redundant, and each site had different IP address! And I, the developer, have maintained, and continue to maintain, the configuration file! Checked into your ops repo. You (ops) have never had to maintain it at all!

I've also been on the other side of the wall, as ops, having to tell the developers why the keep seeing zombie processes on the server. Because the developers had no experience with Unix signals and having to wait on child processes. And again, about how syslog() works.

It goes both ways.
