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.

Agreed! If I never hear "You should employ a bias towards <some Amazon principle of dipshittery>" again it will be too soon.
Everytime 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.

That 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."
“Disagree and commit” aka “bend over and take it” is my personal fave

Those principles are so obnoxious. You can use them to justify or excoriate literally any action at any time.

That shit never stopped sounding culty to me. When they broke out "Best employer on Earth", it was a new level of weird.
