All developers should learn DevOps. DevOps is not a job title but a culture. It's a way of doing things. The sooner you can learn those ways the more effective you'll be.
So regarding this cert, if you can learn the skills and get the cert it will make you a more valuable developer in my opinion. Go for it.
Thank you Jeremy. I was thinking like that until the feedback seemed to focus on diverting me from becoming a more knowledgeable full stack developer, but to a devops only career path. I thought I don’t want to be forced to be something other than being full stack. Makes me worry I was making a mistake.
Firmly agree here. DevOps isn't a job title, a set of tools, or even a methodology, it's a culture of automation, iteration, feedback, and improvement. Both devs and ops/admin guys would do well to learn how to tear down walls and get better, more stable code into production faster and easier.

So you also believe as I understand it that it's skills developers could embrace as part of an effort to widen their expertise?
