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.
100% agree. But. If you are a principal engineer claiming to have experience hardening the thing, you would expect that learning to have already happened. Also, I would be absolutely fine with “I never had a chance to dig into this specifically, I just know it at a high level” answer. Why coming up with bs?
I mean, we are talking about people whose whole career was around Kubernetes, so I don’t think so?
Ah. OK. Yep, people lie in their CV’s.
