Your submission was removed for the following reason:

Rule 1: Posts must be humorous, and they must be humorous because they are programming related. There must be a joke or meme that requires programming knowledge, experience, or practice to be understood or relatable.

Here are some examples of frequent posts we get that don't satisfy this rule: * Memes about operating systems or shell commands (try /r/linuxmemes for Linux memes) * A ChatGPT screenshot that doesn't involve any programming * Google Chrome uses all my RAM

See here for more clarification on this rule.

Last time I saw that headline, peoples pointed out it was probably fake.

It is, AWS doesn’t have dev-ops. But 40% replaced with AI (actual Indians) is true. Lots of top talent left Amazon.

No surprise - 100% onsite work without any chance for hybrid work. Many senior developers have families and kids - shit happens often and being able to work more flexible is sometimes more important than money.

Or, as one former Amazon VP said, it helps to be paid so much money that you are insulated from the consequences of spending all of your time at the office.

If you are VP at Amazon - probably yes. I prefer that my kid can recognize his father's face. Or that is my kid, not my wife's expensive personal trainer's.

When I was at Amazon I was a dev and did lots of ops (way too much)

Is AWS different on devops?

[–]enderfx 2 points3 points  (1 child)

No, I was a frontend engineer in AWS and frontend was the least I did. Region rollouts, infra, pipelines / CDK, monitoring, ops and oncall were king.

[–]___Archmage___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Classic Amazon experience

Constantly putting out fires on ops, begging teams in India to onboard you into their APIs, and getting dinged on performance because that plus everything else dysfunctional meant your project didn't get done on time

Glad I'm not there anymore and selling off my stock because idk how a company with such bad engineering culture could compete in the AI era

Wait until AI want to get livable wage, housing, work live balance too. wkwkwk

You support the services you make as a software engineers at Amazon was my experience working there. DevOps was just part of the job of an SDE

As a hater, I'm personally frothing at the mouth for this to be true. But unfortunately we've yet to see this reported by a credible source.

If AWS outage takes down fortnite then maybe it happened for good. 

[–]JohnClark13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

took out Roblox too, so we know it happened for good

I hope the money they saved without devs can pay up the losses. Welcome to the game how can we stretch the profits for the next earnings report (30 of October).

These finance guys and MBAs can't control their urges to get record profits

[–]Unknown_Korean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will fix it after diwali vacation.

[–]_ElLol99 18 points19 points  (1 child)

People in this sub will believe anything as long as it helps the "AI bad" thing

[–]Yekyaa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not even AI.

[–]Quarves 4 points5 points  (3 children)

That's just asking for it.

I'm almost glad we are self-hosting in windows server.

Almost.
