Oof hit a nerve with the jeffbots on this but it doesn’t change the fact that everyone is laughing when you know the layoffs are predictably coming in with each earnings call.
The non-programmers at amazon I know are all just getting onto kiro. I guess there’s two versions of kiro(?) one aimed at devs and the other more web/mcp friendly. Ic and managers are still just wading into the waters and still haven’t learned that token dashboards are snake eating its own tail endgame for these groups.
From the outside it looks like a hot mess of many competing teams trying to become the chosen one for all of Amazon’s ai use. As a result it’s a confusing mess of tools that don’t last very long and creates tons of churn and confused employees who learn new tools as they're killed.
Definitely enjoying watching the chaos unfold from a distance at these trillion dollar businesses
No info about planned GW or cross compare metrics to see how for $295B goes. I also don’t think the blow quotes is that fair given that this is state-funded vs private-funded and there’s still additional private funded dc build happening in China.

Chinese data centers in general cost less than in the US because of cheaper labor, component and construction costs, and local government incentives.
I've been thinking about enrolling at WGU for their CS degree and was just chatting about it yesterday.
I'm also self taught but with only half a degree completed. I think about moving abroad especially for retirement reasons. Having that paper makes all the difference. Without it it's much harder to live anywhere outside a home country permanently.
Taco bell is a surprisingly good fast food option for vegetarians I've heard. You can make basically all their options meat-less and add options you like and you're good. (note I'm not vegetarian, just going by advice I've heard others mention this)
Is reliance on fossil fuels really a lower hanging fruit than serving ads on websites? I think I get the point you're trying to make but lower hanging fruit isn't really the right phrase.
unless they can link your computer to entering that address, isn't there some plausible deniability that someone else entered your address. Having drugs delivered to your house isn't illegal if someone else sent them there right? (Asking about in the US, but also interested in hearing if it's different or the same in EU)
