I am not sure I agree. I am a DevOps by title and I am reading the flagship code before I try to get answers from development about why things do not work. I dig into stack traces, read legacy BS, "stare and compare" logs I had no idea even existed until this moment. I deploy code to production during the week after hours, I make SQL DB changes on the regular, both manually and via liquibase. I am expected to troubleshoot issues with kubernetes as well as standard applications.

I do not think my organization would call this a platform engineer, as that title makes no sense for the work I do.
