SWEs: are SRE/devops folks part of your day to day?

I have never been in a SWE role where I didn’t do my own “ops”, even at FAANG (I haven’t worked at Google). I know "SRE/devops" was/is buzzy in the industry, but it’s always seemed, in the vast majority of cases, to be a half-assed rebrand of the old school “operations” role -- hardly a revolution. In general, I think my teams have benefited from doing our own ops. The software certainly has. Am I living in a bubble?
