   Honest question: colleagues 10 years older often had contact with the bare metal. It seemed you needed to know some electronics actually. Systems where local. Then my generation is the sql greybeards and everything is connected and everything is data. Now everything is 10 abstractions away in x-as a service cloud. Simple solutions require 3 specialized people and takes many hundred hours. And maybe because of this, the distance from customer to code, is bigger than ever.

   Am I wrong?
