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.
I know what a Smith’s chart is, but I never needed to actually use one. I’m a software guy who knows some random details about RF, and that sometimes helps with random things like identifying issues with WiFi or whatever.
Yeah, I was an EE in college so I took the Smith’s chart class, did the exercises, then promptly started using newer tools when such things were called for… mostly I worked in software after school so all those exercises were… academic.
