The most common thing computers do is break, and being forthcoming and transparent about that reality while not making your platform sound like an incoherent pile of bricks teetering on a cliff above a playground is a delicate balancing act. AWS’s reliability is the stuff of legend, and on the rare occasion that it fails, they walk the messaging tightrope very well. So I was surprised to learn all you have to do to sweep away twenty years of excellence and make them sound like frothing insecure zealots is sprinkle a bit of “perhaps AWS is bad at AI” narrative on it. Then, they lose their minds.
It’s kind of sad, I’ve seen many top solution architecture and engineers leave in the past month. Some of them have 10 years tenure and build a repetition. I don’t think aws and Microsoft will recover, when the the bubble burst.
What was the point of not trying to unionize and stop it? Y’all are going to lose your jobs anyways when the company collapses.
They should do that, but given that their union busting practices. Personally I’ve never went to AWS or Microsoft way too toxic for me.
Yeah but if everyone is going to lose their jobs because the company is inevitably run into the ground by braindead executives who have no idea how to make the operation run smoothly or efficiently…?
Then what did everyone have to lose that they were so afraid of? They were already going to lose it. Not just some of it, all of it in a great terrible crash…
