Yup, and the other flipside is devs being extremely nitpicky and regurgitating irrelevant Amazon principles BS in code reviews because they're trying to get promoted.
- innocentoldguy 4y agoAgreed! If I never hear "You should employ a bias towards <some Amazon principle of dipshittery>" again it will be too soon.
- gruffle 4y agoEverytime I bypass some stupid process or break glass, I now just put 'bias for action' as the reason. Ahahaha I don't give a shit anymore.
- innocentoldguy 4y agoThat one is my favorite. At Amazon, "bias for action" is a knee-jerk managerial phrase that typically means, "I'm going to spew ambiguous/ignorant bullshit into the room and you do something meaningful with it."
- anon7725 4y ago“Disagree and commit” aka “bend over and take it” is my personal fave
- Firmwarrior 4y agoThose principles are so obnoxious. You can use them to justify or excoriate literally any action at any time.
- neongodzilla 4y agoThat shit never stopped sounding culty to me. When they broke out "Best employer on Earth", it was a new level of weird.
