I don't understand this quote. Does he mean that you have to choose ONE of the three? Or that you have to do all three (which means his "or" is misplaced)? Or that Amazon.com chooses for you, rather than you choosing yourself?
- arkades 9y agoHe means all 3. His "or" isn't misplaced, because it's a play on an existing phrase: "better, faster, cheaper - you only get to choose two." Meaning you cannot optimize on all 3 dimensions. Here he is saying that Amazon expects you to excel at all 3, by providing a contrast to a known idiom that says you cannot.
