Amazon's AWS CEO chides staff for slow product rollouts

Why would anyone work hard for average pay, Amazon burnout, and a return to office mandate?

The beating will continue until morale improves

Have they considered using more AI? I’ve heard more AI will solve this

All of this talent and compute and they haven’t replaced the CEO yet with genAI and agents. Concerning. Immediate ~$30M-$40M cost reduction potential.

Bus factor can be avoided entirely, don't stop with one seat warmer

No, no, they should consider firing more people, first. Maybe also give the CEO a bonus.

Can't use that one here: "AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'"

lol. All the competent folks I knew left. They bled talent like crazy with return to office. Everyone figured that was the point of it… all that’s left of the groups I worked with there is morons and sycophants from top to bottom.
