“On the Death of Amazon’s Writing Culture”
https://alifeengineered.substack.com/p/on-the-death-of-amazons-writing-culture> Thirty minutes into a recent review meeting at Amazon, an L7 principal product manager began a discussion on a six-page document. Two minutes into his presentation, it was blindingly obvious to everybody in the room that he was reading the document for the first time.
It's going to take tech years to unwind this damage, if it's at all possible. Amazingly, the author is still an "AI" true believer, that it's "here to stay".
