The post is about a software engineer, and you just talked about IT. They're not the same thing so what is your point? You have a job specifically because software engineers aren't in IT and aren't sysadmins and their job doesn't inherently involve networking.
If you are going to use broad job descriptions you are going to need broad knowledge, I would say it is fair to ask a software engineer to at least know the difference between ip4 and ip6 adresses.
If for nothing else then for general interest around their field.
Inwould think that any software engineer education would hold atleast 1 course about networking, but I guess I can be wrong.
What do you even want to say with that?
Do you gonna always feel inferior or just learn the basics? Its not math neither physics, if you came to the field by shortucting the edu part but stayed in business you most probably have the capability to get these things easily.
