    Solves easy problems at large scale
I would love to see you in an Amazon interview. 80% of the interviewed melt down in the middle of it because they can't solve a problem that is 10 orders of magnitude easier than the problems they would be tackling on the job.

Well, I was going to say something similar, but I really just think he means Amazon's problems are easy compared to googles. That being the point, I don't think his phrasing is worth taking issue over.
I'd say close to nothing on the AWS side or the retail website side of things are "easy" problems to design and maintain every day.
