Ask HN: I'm being left out of SRE and DevOps by my manager. Should I be worried?

I am a web developer working on react and backend REST APIs. I have the skills and want to be closer to the deployed product working as SRE and DevOps. Writing anisble scripts and maintaining production instances. It's a small team. I'm not allowed to do Devops things because 'me being a developer is worth more'. I think that's a terrible idea. I can only become a better developer by working close to the deployed product. Having less SREs and shared devops knowledge can only hurt things. The team rationale is computers fail all the time. We should have SRE scripts that recover things. I hate that idea. I want to know why servers failed. My belief is if you don't understand the root cause it'll just keep happening. Is this a naieve belief? Am I in the wrong here?
