It's a pretty common theme in what Bezos says, no? Here's some examples: https://www.investors.com/news/management/leaders-and-succes... has some of such quotes: > "Failure comes part and parcel with invention," Bezos wrote in his 2013 letter to shareholders. "It's not optional. We ... believe in failing early and iterating until we get it right." Three years later, he added, "Amazon is the best place in the world to fail." Or: > “As a company grows, everything needs to scale, including the size of your failed experiments. If the size of your failures isn’t growing, you’re not going to be inventing at a size that can actually move the needle,” Now, I'm sure that doesn't apply to AWS, and your culture is totally different. You're an enterprise product with real contracts, real commitments, and making real money. You're not the Groupon clone, online pharmacy or whatever that grocery service *Amazon killed today* was. But if we're accepting that Amazon's general trigger-happiness when it comes to failed consumer products doesn't extend to AWS, why does Google Cloud not get the same treatment? |
