There are less and less touching servers directly happening. Not only DevOps but the current raise of k8s and serverless deployments making it less relevant. There is also the security aspect of it.
The downside is that people (especially the ones who are just joining the workforce) are less efficient with the command line and more dependant on GUI. For example some of the junior devs do not know git cli anymore and rely on the VSCode plugin to interact with git. This becomes an issue when there is a bug in the plugin and you should use the CLI.
Or worse, when what you think is a big actually is a feature. I basically use vscode git only for staging and merging and sometimes not even that, when it has issues with hunks on the beginning of the file or whatever.
This comment leads me to believe that you’re used to working in one type of organisation to the point where you’re projecting it on your entire understanding of this incredibly broad industry.
Everyone _should_ also have 100% test coverage, canary deployments, and local dev parity. Unfortunately, the real world gets in the way and means we don’t all work with optimal setups.
No one should touch servers directly, unless for down tracking stuff or remote development, in which case, they also don't need to cross compile.
