Andy Jassy works for Amazon like 20+ years now.
Albeit he is not an SDE, assuming he knew nothing about how software engineering works is just pure idiocracy and ignorance. He created the AWS business.

- dijit 4y agoHe did? Thats impressive. Which parts did he write? All of it? Or, is he a salesman? Salesmen somewhat famously prefer open plan spaces.
- karmasimida 4y agoU would be really lying to yourself believing writing some lines of code is more critical than making a business profitable. At his level, deciding what to do is 1000x more important than how and who to do it It is like you saying a director for a movie has no importance, because he didn’t act a minute in the movie That is a big big ego to claim
- dijit 4y agoI think the main point I am trying to make here is: 1) I don’t know what his role was (and neither do you, most likely) 2) that different “types” of people work differently. in your example: imagine that everyone on production has to sit in a canvas chair all day in a warehouse because thats “how the director wants to work”. 3) If he is a businessman, which seems to be the case, then his personality type tends to favour the absolute worst type of working environments for developers.
- rwalle 4y ago"pure idiocracy and ignorance" He probably knows something about running a software business but I really doubt if an MBA with little technical background knows much about software engineering.
