I think I'm closer to you on the spectrums you mentioned. While I find the author's actual writing to come off as narrow-minded and self-aggrandizing, I do agree with the title itself.

There are some companies and teams that are looking for product focused devs that don't need to work on devops. If that's what you enjoy, look for that. I know finding another job isn't the most fun thing but it might be easier than giving up on your current profession entirely.
