I find AWS extremely difficult to use compared to GCP. Even though we received startup credits—which are essentially free money—we’re letting them go to waste because the platform is so much harder to work with.
It’s no surprise that AWS’s revenue growth is lagging behind GCP and Azure.
Beyond the AI talent gap, Amazon seems to be making serious missteps in its own core business.
It reminds me of Apple. At first, people thought Apple was being strategic by staying out of the AI race and waiting to pick the winner. But in reality, it turned out to be an inability to adapt to the new trend. I expect the same pattern from Amazon.
