maybe this guy will receive some amazon cloud bonuses for his students :) At least our discussion will support some education projects and also make some amazon Guys more happy :)
I’ve seen this a lot with professors of industry-focused business schools in universities. I think they’re either getting funding / paid or using the connections to pull strings.
These professors usually consult with a lot of government organizations and older companies. If you can make these professors your corporate shill, I guess it’s good marketing.
