This article reads like a TV ad for legal services. I don’t understand why it was submitted to Hacker News. Is there anything new, curious, or otherwise interesting here that wasn’t already covered in other posts about the outage?
> Four anonymous sources who spoke to the Financial Times tell a different story.
Where is the FT citation for this statement? What ‘different story’ did they tell?
> This is the part of the article that’s worth sharing with your team.
Is this sort of language normal in some circles rather than condescending as it comes across to me? It feels like executive leadership slop was accidentally posted to a forum for coders:
> The question is whether you’ll build the guardrails before the outage, or after it.
The conclusion ignores the third possibility, “outages are a cost of doing business and need not be avoided if the lost profits are exceeded by the long-term projected opex of having humans in the loop to prevent those losses”. It feels like that is intentionally ignored as an outcome because it conflicts with making money selling whatever contracting services this post is advertising.

Everyone, I got reports the Friend Link is not working. I'm attaching a new Friend Link again: https://medium.com/@heinancabouly/amazon-forced-engineers-to...
Clickbait.
... and you have to sign into Medium to read it.
The link provided is a "Friend Link" meaning you can access it from anywhere without signing in.
It didn't work for me.
It's almost like this was a terrible idea.
