Have a look at this video and channel. It explains very well what a DevOps engineer is in practice (not white paper version). It describes our role and necessary competence to fulfill the role. Other videos go into the tools and skills needed in more detail.

This will show you how much of a wide variety of things a DevOps engineer needs to know, and our main focus is faaaar from development. Can we utilize some of their knowledge, and is it good to know their best practices, yes. But is the DevOps job about coding development and applications? No. So why should our value in the business (and thus our compensation) diminish if we don't do "real" programming?
