      They weren't moving fast and breaking things -- when I looked at 3rd party measured uptime, AWS was clearly #1 and we were going back and forth with Google for #2. This understates AWS's edge since they had fewer global outages and less flakiness that didn't count as downtime.

      The more I looked into this, the more impressed I was with Amazon engineering. But AFAICT this never translated into any kind of reputational change. I don't think this is unique to Amazon either. When I compare general reputation to what I can observe, they seem uncorrelated.

      BTW, I don't mean this thread as an attack on MS or Google. It's more that if I could take a sabbatical from my job and intern somewhere to learn from them, Amazon would be at the top of my list and I don't think many others would put any company in my top 3 in their top 50.

      What would be the other two (I mean, Amazon is an unsurprising pick for you- you've already worked at Google and Microsoft. I'm just curious if either Apple or Facebook is in your top 5)

      Unrelated, but I'd bet you that you're 95%ing and that most programmers who aren't In The Know would love to work at Amazon

      Being in the 95th percentile and assuming everybody else is as knowledgeable as you are, as in https://danluu.com/p95-skill/

      You'd be 95%ing if you went "nobody would read my thoughts on running a business, they all already know this stuff"

      I suspect my top pick that would surprise the most people would be Pivotal/CloudFoundry. They seem to actually value being nice. Almost everyone says they do, but if you looked at who gets hired and promoted, they clearly don't mean it. PCF seems to mean it.

      this was exactly my impression when I joined Pivotal, < 1 month after VMware acquisition was announced -- absolutely grateful to see experience it in person pre-acq (not to say it has changed, but many people have left since acq)

      I'm curious if Pivotal culture will survive the high turnover + apparent lack of understanding of the culture by VMWare leadership (demonstrated by, among other things, the People Ops layoffs). I think attrition is a sign that many employees are bearish on this, unfortunately.

          Replying to @danluu @wilsonehusin and

          There have been some missteps but so far, from my perspective, things look promising on this front. Former Pivotal is a big part of a new org within VMware and I'm also hopeful that we'll also be able to incorporate some needed changes. But only time will tell...
