There are two sides of this.
1) code written to a "platform" AKA PHP/JS specialist.
2) Code written with a deep platform integration. This is where you should
know Nginx, Apache, IIS, and related OS information.
Both have a place in general software development. I prefer working with
the Latter
It seems to me that anyone who writes code should have some knowledge of
every OS that code will have to work with. It's been my experience that
no software, machine or anything else developed by man has ever worked
exactly as intended. There's always some bug or quirk that needs to be
dealt
