Thats too bad, I always imagined the backend was as magical as what AWS users see. I still wish I could have a peek at how S3 works or IAM. Not enough to get a job at AWS - I know they'd fire me the first time I left early for a parent teacher conference or took a sick day, so why put myself in that position.

- throwaway343432 6y agoThe only thing magical about AWS' backend is how much manpower they can throw at things. Amazon doesn't have a good engineering culture. It's all about shipping things as fast as possible. People get promoted an leave for other teams, and the new folk gets burned out due to on-call load while trying to fix crappy software they have inherited.

- ipsocannibal 6y agoFrom what I understand AWS and Amazon are two separate dev groups. Does your statement cover all of Amazon or only AWS? Why don't the new folk iteratively refactor their systems to remove operational burden? Isn't that part of owning any codebase you didn't write?
