Websockets at scale are a special problem and he was probably right.

Asking questions for follow up meant you were missing some core piece of the ‘Amazonian’ way of tackling the problem.

Not being able to take the hints or criticism and thinking about it for years is probably evidence that Amazon would not have been a good place for you. That’s not always a bad thing.

Being super conscientious isn’t useful. That’s not an Amazonism, it’s from living in South Africa.

The ability to fit in isn’t rigid. Many people don’t examine data, the impact to their customers, or actually explore a problem. Hearing people’s work history is often a series of assumptions made with little to no care for alternatives.
