Author doesn't understand the DevOps skillset. The average developer can hack things together, but they don't have an appreciation for operational principles. DevOps is actually higher on the totem pole than dev, because DevOps requires you to be skilled in both operations and dev. A traditional ops person couldn't cover for a dev, but neither could a regular, even "full stack" developer stand in for a sysadmin.
