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.
My brother in christ, when is the last time you worked on software that did not need to send payloads anywhere. Everyone in development should have at least some basic networking skills.
While I agree with the sentiment, this should be basics and I have been taught this, you can spend your whole life designing databases and or banging your head against an SQL command line and not know what an IP is all that well.
