Ah ha. . .yes, I see. . .I was reading the mass there, in my native units of pounds. 
US wives would take a weight of 100 as a compliment but not so elsewhere to be sure.

There is code project and then there is the forum.

For our anniversary, I told my wife:
I will get you diamonds.
Nothing would please me more, she said.
Well, Ok then.

Came across this article titled "General guidance when working as a cloud engineer"
I'm pretty sure that really doesn't exist.

The technology underlying the cloud must be engineered, but the application which is supported by the cloud is not. Though certainly the application developer should still be very diligent about understanding the implications of working on such a surface.

you want to be a cloud developer, fine. There is no such thing as a cloud "engineer". I interviewed people claiming they were a software engineer, and all they had done was html.

There are software engineers. They aren't the best programmers because the best software developers use a combination of engineering thinking and creative thought to create beautiful and functional software solutions. Someone who uses only HTML is neither.

Don't misunderstand me, I don't want to be a cloud developer -- though my boss wants me to be.
Yes, pretty much anyone (though certainly not everyone) claiming to be a "software engineer" is actually an inexperienced software developer with delusions of grandeur.

Most software 'engineers' I've met aren't. It's mostly wannabe hype. An Engineer has a high level of academic training, upholds professional standards both personal and technical, and has a disciplined approach. It takes a long time to become an Engineer.
Being able to scribble code and know what TDD, DRY and SOLID mean don't make you an Engineer, just as in other fields being able to design a steel beam or fix a car or a washing machine don't make you an Engineer.

Persons using the title Software Engineer who do not have an Engineering degree & a professional licence (e.g. P.Eng. in Canada) should desist as it is illegal to call yourself an Engineer in many countries without those qualifications. If the relevant governing body finds out (e.g. PEO in Ontario), they will take such a person to court as a matter of policy & the offender will be fined & have court costs to pay.

To me, software engineering is about the discipline of applying techniques to manage software complexity. At a minimum, source code management, unit/regression testing, continuous integration, issue management and where possible, code review. It is much, much more than slinging code, which is what I did for the first 20 years of my career before I called myself a software engineer.

Talk about a cushy job. Much softer than being a ground engineer.

Actually, it's a funny article!
Starts off with Quote: Each position focuses on a specific type of cloud computing, rather than the technology as a whole
Then the "must-have skills" below is a laundry list of almost every IT skillset.

Ah, the cloud.
Magical.
SSL connection suddenly fails for 0.001% of our clients, when a recycled node updated the TTL for a cert to 0, to force-refresh all clients. Yeah that won't work.
Best practice?
We should tell our clients to update their network infrastructure, so it supports our cloud's load balacing node recycling scheme.
Our clients don't even know what a router is, so yeah, great advice I guess.

Just imagine the confusion, when scientists start to modify weather patterns and start hiring someone that can design a cloud with specific properties.

And here I thought God engineered clouds!

Lucky for me, it was just a lot of rain and wind.
People living in the North and and Midwest got lots of snow, ice, and freezing temps. New York has 28 deaths due to the storm, so far, as of today.
I work from home, have been for the last 10 years, so minimal impact to me, thankfully.
