A Decade of Dynamo

I was at AWS from 2008 to 2016. Werner Vogels, Amazon's CTO (yep, not just AWS', but Amazon's, as he had to point out numerous times) has been one of the most talented, humble and generous senior exec I've ever met in my life.

Lots of good memories of time spent with him, and one of the sad aspects for me of leaving Amazon.

His blog writings are really interesting. If you haven't already, I suggest you search the archives, there are several hidden gems there.

I have always tremendously admired that guy; what a job he has! He is literally responsible for about half of the shit on the internet not going down (and also running the biggest internet shopping mall and making sure a bunch of crappy speakers can talk, but both of those are straightforward by comparison IMO).

Can you even imagine? I want to know what his direct report structure looks like.

Interesting contrast to YCs path post from the other day ("Founder, Executive, Individual Contributor").
