Education is always a good thing, but it applies all around, too. In my experience, I've seen numerous DBAs who needed to learn a few things about the real world challenges faced by developers.

DBAs are not the font of all wisdom. Perhaps we'd like to think so :-D, but the reality is somewhat different.
