"We are hopeful that we can look at our findings and say maybe we don't need to have quite as much infrastructure focused on power and reliability." I was left wondering whether they were referring to the project, or just Azu

In other news, companies have been paying salaries based on cost of living expenses since the dawn of time. I see this less as a "cutting" pay and more "rehiring you in another state at your relevant salary tier".

I’ve not experienced the neural marketplace element myself. They still have the A-to-Z guarantee and still have the best return and customer support policies in the game. I spend 10s off thousands of dollars a year and return anything I don

As the FB employee in this thread commented - this person vilified others and was fired for that, not his attempts to "bring down the man". Large scale platforms like this are hard to manage. I can see many cases where people doin

There have been plenty of toxic people i've worked with who seem to think their job is to "point out all the unfairness in the world", when really they're just hired to pull stories off a backlog and write code. I get th

“Potential” Political bias. Can we just acknowledge for a moment what it’d be like to have a colleague who’s desperately trying to prove that your work is a “big conspiracy” when you’re honestly all just trying to do your best. I see so man

I know of many ex amazon employee anecdotes where people were “taken in the night” (didn’t have a job in the morning), and had their credentials and their teams credentials rotated due to a customer or seller data access overstep. As with m

I'm not sure this is correct. GH seems to take their time, and get things right. They're product leadership is really top tier compared to the rest of the tools providers who are often quick to release a feature half-baked hoping

There seems to a ton of people with long term organ damage from this thing. Brushing it aside as a non event for everyone else is dangerously misinformed.

While I disagree with a bunch of the reasoning you use above, I agree that blanket lockdowns aren’t needed anymore. Seattle seems to be getting out and about now, but people are being super careful and everyone’s giving each other tons of s

Amazon’s value isn’t in the fact it’s a store with great shipping. It’s the trust component. Returns are simple, shipping and stock management is a non event and they have basically everything. Every other online shopping experience I’ve h

Why is it disgusting? They gave everyone a wage increase, and they already pay above minimums. Also, Jeff doesn't make millions an hour, he gets paid in stock. Stock is not cash, and is not a form of liquidity. In addition, $AMZN has

Knowing how many people rely on Amazon for their purchases, it seems like they're doing the right thing to keep everyone moving during this craziness.

...Just wait until they hear about services like Google Analytics, and MixPanel. Jokes aside, i often find the excitement around "tracking" to be frustrating. Like fears of global conspiracies and mind control, the idea that somew

It'd be really easy to connect a remote UHF radio to a stream, and ATC would never know. Get your clearance, taxi on to the runway, take off, say "have a nice day EIGHTTWOJULIET" as you clear their airspace. maybe someone w

This is complete BS. Interns are basically on a really well paid holiday and given random features that may/may not ever make it to production.

They do. But I'm guessing you don't scale up 1M+ servers for your Uber canary traffic tests - these are some of the scales Amazon undergoes in these events. The scale is unlike almost any other web property around.

Because nearly everyone I know has some memory where at a less experienced point in their engineering career they wrote: delete from ImportantTable where id = 1234 ... and forgot to select the second line in some query editor before running
