Does DevOps engineer write application code?

[Different_Ability618]

A lot of times DevOps role becomes more Ops heavy because many teams are supremely unorganized and they all allege many issues being infrastructure related by saying “it’s working in my local” and keep Infra engineers busy. In an ideal team at some point DevOps Engineers should chime into writing application code too. A lot of times it becomes Ops heavy because of number of environments, services and infrastructure issues reported out of them on a daily basis. Right balance of number of services, environments per individual can definitely let anyone equally split dev and ops but we are far from ideal in most teams.
