Someone should tell that guy to buy a new keyboard with a working "shift" key.
Seriously, I can't understand why someone chooses to willfully ignore the most basic grammar rules just "to be different". This just makes everything harder and annoying to read.
Appears that our author was present whilst either he gave a talk with no questions or a tame interviewer asked Werner soft questions with no follow-ups. Absolutely no pushback or challenge to anything he's reported as saying. Nothing along the lines of 'I keep reading AWS customers describing the quality of support and support staff declining over the last year or so. This seems to correlate closely with AWS push to full time RTO. How do you respond to this data?'
> a few days ago, i had the surreal experience of joining a private fireside chat with werner vogels, the cto of amazon, during startup summit 2025 in florianópolis. it's one thing to follow his talks online – it's another to be in the same room, listening to him unpack two decades of lessons from building some of the most critical infrastructure on the internet.
It seems he does indeed tell us that he was a listener in a small-audience conversation that Vogels had.
What’s with this trend of not capitalizing and punctuating? Are we running out of budget for capital letters? It makes the writing look sloppy and pretentious. Who is the author trying to impress?

Agreed. No capitalization is fine for Slack, but annoying in a blog. Here is a fixed version: https://gist.github.com/dmahlow/55028bd34c148514067abd80291a...
It's annoying in Slack too.
Ok.

Thankfully nothing along the lines of this suggested wild speculation to try to get a rage bait headline.
Dishonest trolling is not a challenge or pushback. Nothing constructive comes out of this.
Wouldn’t that be jumping to conclusions?
A leading question is a totally different thing from jumping to conclusions

This was not a good interview, it was servile and lacked any meaningful exchange.
