Using Clouds for too long might have made you incompetent (loudwhisper.me)

My take on how a decade (or more) of using cloud services for everything has seemingly deskilled the workforce.

Just recently I found myself interviewing senior security engineers just to realize that in many cases they had absolutely no idea about how the stuff they supposedly worked with, actually worked.

This all made me wonder, is it possible that over-reliance on cloud services for everything has massively deskilled the engineering workforce? And if it is so, who is going to be the European clouds, so necessary for EU's digital sovereignty?

I did not copy-paste the post in here because of the different writing style, but I get no benefit whatsoever from website visits.

If I understand the gist, I'll just say I'd like my job to be some stuff I'm good and some stuff that challenges me. When I do nothing but challenge myself, imposter syndrome sets in. When I do nothing but the stuff that I'm good at, it gets really boring. I need to find a better mix than I have been.
