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.

Nah brah, knah waddahma? Running my own Nextcloud instance is basically what drove me to become a linux novice.

I used to be a windows gamer. Now I run my own home-LLM server for the self hosted cloud assistant.

People should try, it's fun!

Juat as a reality check:
What you and me consider fun isnt fun for most outside of the lemmy techie bubble.

Haber most people reconsidered what they consider fun though?

They're missing out!
