Software Engineering lost in the cloud?

It would seem the cloud is making you a lazy software engineer. Engineers these days are now have a ready answer for most of the architectural and design concerns - "its taken care at the cloud". This perception is scary and appears to makes any tom-dick-harry engineer with minimal to zero computer/software knowledge "become" "master" software-engineer overnight. This halo is bothering. Whatever happened to clean code / patterns essential to designing your software during the days of distributed computing setup in local clusters ? Perhaps none today cares about minimizing traffic across nodes and syncing time across nodes nor time sharing and optimizing resources during your minimal time at the node. Not sure the solution for this until you are choked to become yet another Harry. hashtag
