To be fair, it has always been like this. People actively became dependent on the Internet, on StackOverflow, fast Internet connection, cloud services, etc.

At a company I had setup scripts to build our packages, and the CI was running those scripts. Someone more junior (only a few years, not decades) found it strictly superior to remove my scripts and replace them with GitHub actions: people could now know even less about it (as in, no need to know how to copy-paste and adapt the recipe for a new package), but now it depended on GitHub. GitHub is down, nobody can build anything anymore. And it happened once every few weeks, so people would just go have a coffee during the outage.

You know what happened next? That person got promoted for their good work. That was before AI.
