Code runs on computers, and cloud is just a single word for "someone else's computer". Great, you've outsourced hardware provisioning, maybe even OS patches - that's smart, this is not your core business, just like toilet plumbing isn't. But you still need to hire someone to carry a pager, and when the plumbing fails, that person needs to understand what exactly went wrong - sometimes at 3AM on a Sunday. Engineering and operations is not just layering abstractions, we've had Lisp 60 years ago and yet it didn't solve everything.
