I worked at Amazon, too. People look down on Amazon, especially relatively to Google. But Amazon had their priorities straight when it comes to frontend. I worked on the team that made shares UI widgets, and it was forking off of Bootstrap. Yes, people may remember Amazon retail being bloated, still kind of is sometimes, but those are product design decisions separate from the ui components. AWS wise, there is just so many products and maybe not enough users / page where it doesn’t make enough business sense to invest more resources. Actually, Amazon had the most practical designers I ever met. They were also closer to the metal in the terms of being considerate about CSS bloat. > interactions don't ever feel "solid" - basically the experience is always like using a buggy webapp where you're thinking you need to open the dev panel to see if it's erroring silently Funny you mentioned AWS. This is exactly the problem with the GCP web console, even though it had a better overall visual hierarchy than AWS. Disclaimer: I also worked on the frontend for GCP
