You’re at Google now right? You people think anybody not at Google is an idiot.

The reality is Amazon is extremely competently run given its size. The pace of innovation is astonishing. We might not be ubermensch but we get the job done, and we are trusted by more people in this country than either Google or Facebook are.

Your at Amazon, right? You should be aware that many other Seattleites in tech despise those who are part of FAANG, vast data mining (FANG) & extreme internal secrecy (Apple, Amazon) have created an environment where ethics are ignored, and only bootlickers are promoted.

This has come back to haunt some of these companies already, but fixing the structural rot is unlikely to happen anytime soon.
