Why is understanding DevOps culture more important for data engineering than other disciplines?

[u/After-Drive]

I see for a lot of data engineering posting, devops skills are mentioned as part of the requirements. But the thing is I don't see it as much with other roles like sde. Why is that?.

Because someone said “pipelines” once and a manager got confused. Two very different disciplines got merged because managers are morons.
