Modern languages make everything so easy that it's hard to find anybody that knows and cares below banging Json across the wire.
This is mostly a good thing, but it makes those knowledgeable of lower levels somewhat of a rarity.
99% of Devs don't even know or care if their requests go over HTTP 1.1 or HTTP/2. Https is a total mystery unless it works okay (which is 99% of the time)
I'm okay with this. Most of these devs get their job done just fine. But I'll add that company-wide there's a small percentage of "wizards" everyone else turns to when unexpected things break. This has held true for every company I've worked for.
I'm not sad about it. Every company needs these people to function, and usually they're paid well or at least have insane job security.
