granted, the article says the bug lasted about a week, making $23,000 on the bug, and refunding all players before any intervention.
it is a bit sketchy they did not inform any players of the reason for the refund, but im not sure how they could have handled this better. what are your thoughts

I miss the times when retaining customers meant providing really good value and customer service. I think there was at least a time in which Amazon would’ve agreed. Maybe not…

I’m feeling the upside with being given the opportunity to talk to chatbots on every site possible. I didn’t think we’d be here in my lifetime to see the AI uprising, so I would give all of the energy possible to talk to Amazon Rufus to better learn about myself and products.

time have changed though. there are better implementations of these, and many companies have built successful startups based around these ideas. look around, it’s the age of distributed locking!

i remember we had similar issues at my 2nd to last job a bit ago. we would often times try to reduce the friction, but it built up and built up until, one day, there was zero chance of reaching anyone worthwhile. i wish we had gone back and really focused on providing as much support as we provide in product!!

Congrats sir!! What comes next? Do you view this as the end of this line of research or just the start of something new?? What consequences are there from this?? Hacker news is fantastic in that we get to rub shoulders with the greats like here and tptacek. -Armond
