As I harped on in the AWS outage, when you combine this fact with the disruption of Stack Ranking/forced attrition, how does this lend itself to long term stability for something that is approaching utility-level importance for the economy?

Utility companies are staid and boring. That's a GOOD thing.

If AWS doesn't restructure, then what does it do? Re-re-reimplement all the internal bespoke systems that run AWS? Doesn't matter, their employees will turn over and the bitrot in those systems is about, what, four years?

Man I hope they are good at microservices!
