The best example is the scene where Alex has to plot a course to the surface of Ganymede without being detected by the Martian and Earth navies. He goes over multiple iterations of possible courses with the computer adjusting for gravity assists and avoiding patrols etc... by voice pretty seamlessly.

I'm a native English speaker from the US midwest working as a software engineer.

For years, literally years, I thought my Indian coworkers, generally from Bangalore or Chennai, were using 'devil up' as a turn of phrase that had caught on in India but that I wasn't familiar with. Meaning something like 'come up with'.

Develop. They were saying develop.

But Bezos didn't invent any of that stuff. As the other commenter said, he executed best on 'put a store on the internet' and made a bunch of money doing that. He then used that money to either acquire other businesses, like Twitch, or hire other people to invent more things, like AWS. That's the whole point of what OP's comment. Bezos took something completely reasonable for a single person to do, 'put a store on the internet' better than anyone else in the mid-90s, and used that as an entry point to reaping benefits from the ideas and the labor of hundreds of thousands of other people over decades.
