I don't think Jeff is a programmer, but I think he is very smart and his success shows that he can understand and create businesses around lots of different types of concepts and ideas. I imagine in reality there is some amount of collaboration that happens before Bezos spouts off something like "create a malloc for the internet", but in any case, it's very strong for his brand of leadership that the lore states it came straight from him.
- fgonzag 7y ago1.) He graduated from CS at Princeton. 2.) Only an actual programmer would know what malloc is and how it works (he knows what it is exactly since he has the idea "malloc for the web")
- hbosch 7y agoPoint taken, I didn’t know Bezos had an engineering background! Amazing.
- eclipxe 7y agoHe's literally an EE/CS Major. He's a programmer at heart. His technical depth is key to a lot of Amazon's biggest successes.
- hbosch 7y agoWow! News to me. Thanks for letting me know.
