I have found the net devs extremely helpful and am deeply grateful for their support but I do sometimes chuckle because the documentation and the responses are written from such a developer's context. Of course, that is entirely expected and I don't mean the least bit of disrespect; I stand in complete awe of the net devs. But the needs and perspectives of net devs and system engineers/admins are very different and rightly so. So, I'd love to see a hybrid environment where we have the best of both worlds (but where sys admin types don't feel completely lost and overwhelmed).
