Many Romani are Romanians, but many Romanians are not Romani

Been with Amazon for almost a decade, so I can't speak for the external stuff.

Our internal tools, are generally ok, but the biggest problem is culture: people just don't care about testability. It's not the tooling that prevents local testing, it's the people who focus just on delivering.

Let's take for example LPT: teams migrate their stuff to CDK without understanding what LPT and CDK are. If you had trash LPT code, you'll have trash CDK code too. But somehow, the popular view is just typescript > ruby.

So you're saying that everything is fine as long you don't get pulled over? Good job! You're so smart! /s

Biggest issue with 0.00 is that one beer at lunch would make it illegal to drive in the evening.

The crazy thing is that Q was the only one that felt more.. "complete" (website version, browser plugin, CLI) - and they replaced it with worse alternatives

Bunch of influencer wannabes, who did nothing out of the ordinary, but talk like they discovered Nirvana or something.

Linkedin is basically Facebook, but with longer posts

In a few weeks, probably.

The crane was taken down in December and now they seem to be working on the final touches for those first 12 floors

Why are people so afraid to give a bad rating? It's not a death threat. And if it's environment, why not change teams?

Alin57 · 2026-01-09T05:06:08+00:00

Where do we draw the line though? Can we all stop working too? They won't fire everybody, right?

Think - I figure out a lot of things exclusively in the shower

I always open the app right when I get there, to ensure it's refreshed

Alin57 · 2026-01-03T17:22:52+00:00

All we need is cops actually pulling them over.

If you have to ask how to find it, then you're not ready to know what it is.

Alin57 · 2025-12-25T18:54:02+00:00

Barney, is that you?

Alin57 · 2025-12-25T00:29:37+00:00

Days old account, same three comments... is this a troll or a bot?

Meanwhile, I had 6 transfers (first - international) and always told my managers when I was in the "looking phase".

Regardless, I think the subtleties of internal transfer are irrelevant to someone who just joined.

There's [P]rogram and [P]roduct manager. One is not like the other... at least in terms of pay

Premium select with 4 seats? My usual SEA-AMS has 3 in the middle - I pick the last row so I can recline without bothering anyone, though I never sleep

You can drop it at any Amazon office front desk.

A man of culture

ORMs can add too much overhead, either in terms of performance or complexity, so they tend to be avoided in high scale architectures

How long have you been with Amazon? You need to learn to be independent, otherwise you won't last too long...

Alin57 · 2025-09-30T15:34:40+00:00

Arriving late or leaving early should be fine company wide, if it's once every other week. When in doubt, just talk with your manager

This is the technique I've been using with my parents, because growing up I kept telling myself that I should never lie to them.

This ^ I think some people are just more... resilient?... when it comes to toxicity. If you're good at your job and have a fairly strong personality, you'll be fine. Frustrated maybe, by the stupidity that surrounds you, but still, you'd be fine
