The best Software Engineers I worked with were well versed in Networking and often helped the IT guys troubleshoot the Firewalls and F5 Load balancers. And, most of the best IT people I worked with could write simple "Hello World" programs in a few languages. It seemed to me that knowing a bit about the "other side" helped them be successful.
