Why is it anyone's "problem"? Nobody said they're being forced to do it this way - just that they are. And I guarantee that there are thousands of other companies out there that have an API-fanout model as well, and migh

The unibody design, while still bad, actually seems to be a bit of a red herring in this case. The article describes that the actual cause for disassembling the entire vehicle was that they had to replace the tailgate, and had to repaint th

I don't follow. No special support channel was opened up here. The u/AWSSupport user just linked them to the standard "get account support" link that everyone else uses. I'd also note that a special support channel

I don't see how this is a failure at all. Amazon Pay and Stripe are not competitors. Amazon Pay is a customer-facing service that makes it easier for customers to enter their credit card information and use it across multiple websites.

They aren't giving up on Amazon Pay. There's misunderstanding in this thread about what this announcement is. Amazon Pay and other payments products from Amazon are customer-facing products that make it easier for customers to mak

Sure, which is why the entire "productivity" discussion is a bit speculative. I note that in the OP article, productivity of any kind is not cited as a reason for the return to office. Neither is profit, for that matter.

Correlation does not imply causation. A company achieving "record profits" does not necessarily have to be because there was no drop in productivity. It's entirely possible that a company can have a drop in productivity and

Personal productivity isn't the same as organizational productivity. This is one of the key things at the heart of the WFH discussion. It's entirely possible that you personally wrote more lines of code, but the team still fell be

This gets overlooked a lot in the outrage porn of "Texas bad". Every single adjacent grid to Texas was also suffering from rolling or consistent blackouts during last year's February winter storm. Oklahoma had blackouts, Arka

I think AWS App Runner (+ Aurora Serverless) could be even better. From what I can tell, App Runner is supposed to be the successor to Elastic Beanstalk and AWS's PaaS offering. App Runner seems a little immature right now (it launched

This is not universally true. Slotting fees and shelf rental agreements are a thing in Europe, just like they are in the US.
