Amazon chose for itself a reputation as a place that nobody with a choice will work. I'm pleased to see that pay off.

I’m on my seventh year at AWS now. I have a lot of friends that have been in AWS for 10+ years. If any of us would have wanted to leave we would have.

are those Amazon Web Services coders? AI experts?
or are they warehouse and package monkeys and logistics?
800k warehouse workers doesn't mean shit w/r/t AI development

That's a lot of "nobody"
Not an employee, just have a "shit ton" of Amazon stock that has been beating inflation very well. The last few quarters of volatility has allowed me to buy and sell, often fully covering my monthly expenses. I'm very greatful for that. Far from a company "nobody" wants to work for. You have a better performing company than Amazon to recommend that I can use instead? I'm all ears and I'll even give you a kickback for your time!
