Interesting way to approach it, my approach might be less technical, when someone comes to mind randomly, I just txt them with: Hey, you just popped into my mind, I hope all is well with you and yours! It's simple, lightweight,

I've worked for Amazon for 4 years, including stints at AWS, and even in my current role my team is involved in LSE's. I've never seen this behavior, the general culture has been find the problem, fix it, and then do root cau

I have always focused on hiring for attitude and aptitude. If you have the attitude to learn, and the aptitude to grown your skills, then you'll do great at anything you're passionate about. I literally hired a guy who was a part-

While the nerd in me wants to agree with you, aren't all of these just great examples of deeper vertical integration? When I started in computing most major players had their own CPU's, and over time everything converged on mostly

Funny I literally tell people when they join my team that email is the worst way to get my attention. You have a guaranteed slice of attention from me if you schedule time. If you email me you're spinning the wheel and if what you are

I'm an Amazon product leader and I agree 100%, I'm already in back to back meetings all day long, emailing me a doc to read "in advance" puts all the stress on me. I'd rather you put time on my calendar and let me r
