In addition to the shit that is not politically correct to say, Amazon relies heavily on interns for production code and ops. Bezos has this view that the unskilled can get him 80% of what he wants and then a few top people can smooth out the rest. In reality the few top people never even come in contact with the kid that is trying to keep amazon.com running overnight. Successive waves of interns and SDE 1's fuck up the same shit over and over. Bezos is stupidly applying this same strategy at his space company.

- Analog24 8y agoThis is complete nonsense, at least in my org. Interns are given projects that are as far from production code as possible. I'm sure there are managers out there who have done this but it does not extrapolate to the entire company and it's ridiculous to think that it's a company wide practice to make interns responsible for anything that would affect customers.
- wiredone 8y agoThis 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.
