Operations shouldn't develop and Development shouldn't do operations. That isn't to say that Ops can't program. I write a lot of Python to get things done but that's not Development.
I'm a sysadmin in a 100% AWS shop. Before I showed up, Dev was running things. It was horrible.
Versions differed greatly, they didn't use init scripts for anything, deployment was pretty manual, and their release cycle was really slow because they spent too much time in operations where they were clueless.
My job is to keep production rock solid and provide Dev with the resources they need to write code.

If Devs aren't writing code, I failed.
