I worked there for a long time. It’s 100% true. They mostly need low level workers to keep the systems going.

I’ve only been at AWS for seven years, but it’s a completely different company than it was in 2018.

The hyper growth in AWS is gone, there’s a lot of clarity on what makes money, and a ton of technical debt that requires never ending support.

So much technology is basically a public utility masquerading as a public growth company. It's time to start moving them into public ownership.

It's either that or tax the fuck out of their profit centers.
