Amazon Spark what?! Anyway, I just want to see a video where some business guy announced the plan to launch a consumer product for paid users and the rest of the team roll their eyes! :D Should have happened definitely!
- camtarn 9y agoMore likely, the dev team carefully conceal their eye-rolling, and agree enthusiastically to the plan. If your normal job is working on the ancient Amazon website codebase and holding back the bile you feel as you add yet another "SIGN UP TO PRIME!!!!!!" banner, then a couple of years of being paid to build a green-fields project using the technology of your choice sounds pretty great.

- camtarn 9y agoHah! Could be. It certainly worked for me - I stayed eight years, rotating teams on average every three years. Greenfields project, big established project, greenfields project, back to big established project. Learned a heck of a lot too, in a very wide variety of areas.
