Everyone I know who's worked at Amazon says Jeff Bezos has his hand in everything to the detriment of product design.

I've heard multiple accounts of him seeing a WIP and asking for changes that compromise the product's MVP.

"Jeff Bezos is an infamous micro-manager. He micro-manages every single pixel of Amazon's retail site. He hired Larry Tesler, Apple's Chief Scientist and probably the very most famous and respected human-computer interaction expert in the entire world, and then ignored every goddamn thing Larry said for three years until Larry finally -- wisely -- left the company."

I read that post every couple of years or so.

Why was this being downvoted? It’s first-party evidence that substantiates the claims of the parent comment, and adds interesting historical context from major industry players

Is this why the everything besides the front page still looks like someone's first website from 1998?
