One of the developers where I work was surprised that I knew how to find and read the source code to figure out what one of their applications was doing and how it worked. I was doing that so I could solve some other problem.

Like, bro, I’ve been reading code since before you were born. Just because I do not like programming doesn’t mean I can’t understand it. In any sysadmin type job, you do everyone else’s job too. At least sometimes. That includes dev too.
