> As to "cloud agnostic", don't believe this bullshit.

A notable exception to this is of you have clients whose IT departments require you to work on specific cloud providers. Although, there's tools that help abstract deploying infrastructure to different cloud providers (eg terraform, pulumi), but they still require some familiarity with the providers. With all that said, overall I agree with your sentiment

When you build software for a client that is a completely different game.

I divide this into two completely separate areas:

* advisory -- you advise your client on what is prudent in their circumstances,

* software development -- you produce software to client specifications, regardless of what they asked.

You can advise them all you want but then you do what they asked and that's it -- they are always right.
