Can't add much to the above, just wanted to lend my support to what you've said:

I had to learn and maintain the network, equipment, software, and the code to all work together in one solution. They may call this full-stack developers now, but in my circle of friends I grew up around in technology, it was the only developers that could learn and work with the full stack that got the most done.

SysAdmins from the past years might not be able to code, but I can tell you this much: 7+ years ago, there was very little luxury of being a coder or sysadmin only if you were close to solving problems.
