Great to see Jeff Barr present on Hacker News reminding customers to rotate certs
- inopinatus 7y agoI am ex-AWS (forced out after inadvertently hiring and developing the Beast) and therefore qualified to comment. There's some mixup here I think, it's James Hamilton that owns a ship. Some cynics say that Jeff Bezos started Blue Origin just to upstage Hamilton, since Jeff can now say he owns a space ship. Even that isn't true, though. Jeff was just trying to earn thrust, as part of a long-term fitness programme - I'm sure you've seen the candid images of his guns - to get lean and bi curious. ----- edit/codicil: the irony seemed fitting when the parent comment was published. Sadly for those of us willing to risk satirical puns on Hacker News when faced with an irresistible prompt, the context, being an earnestly hagiographical quotation from the Amazon Leadership Principles, was edited away.
- gamegoblin 7y agoJeff Barr, not Jeff Bezos. Jeff Barr runs the AWS blog.
- inopinatus 7y agoThey're different in more ways than you think. Fun fact, Jeff Bezos passed on acquiring Whatsapp because he's secretly biased against Acton. Talk about getting your signals crossed.
