Meh, I would have killed the drone ATC project, too.

Drones are cool and very capable but the opportunity is only a parallel to AWS if you mold it a specific way.

I think Amazon has probably seen from first hand experience that drone traffic isn’t actually going to explode like they thought it might, and it’s probably not going to be a popular mode of package delivery.

The rest of the article was pretty good though.

I see a lot of parallels to Tim Cook. Still, Apple gets away with it because their hardware groups and overall execution are just so damn good in many cases. Making the next HBO or the best laptop with a chassis that hasn’t been touched in a half a decade isn’t really innovative, but it’s good business.
