It’s obvious if you’re running a big data center yourself that you’d rather pay someone else to do that, it’s just that no one wanted to take on that operational burden because it’s a pain. It doesn’t take a technologist to realize that arbitraging pain is where you make money. Everything after that is execution.
There are plenty of people who see the future who aren’t coders, they just usually can’t execute.
Perhaps my error was saying that Jassy isn't a technologist. He is 100% a technologist and has an incredible ability to absorb and understand very complex technical topics. He just isn't a technologist by training or by trade. He simply has an innate technical ability to such extent that his first job at Amazon was being a technical liaison to Jeff Bezos.
And it shows that he's not a technologist. No plan B for when it rains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC2AZAxBQAo
(to be fair 51% of US people https://www.businessinsider.com/people-think-stormy-weather-... believe that too)
;)
Equally impressive since Jassy isn't really a technologist either.
