Please donโ€™t ๐Ÿ˜ข I spend my day watching cat videos on YouTube for years at my job and if they join and actually do work someone may notice that results are getting delivered.

    • Every thread with Amazon posters confirms every Amazon pip slave stereotype, it's quite incredible

      Buffering, and others in same state of mind, how am elitist if I just asked a simple question? What is your answer to it? For decades, URA quota was Amazon's way to remove underperforming dead weight. Do you pretend other co don't do that? Clear policy is always better than quiet backstabbing.

    True. Only Amazon has ever shipped anything. All other companies are just running charities handing out free money and food to employees.

    • Agreed. the Blizzard UIs are bloated AF and super asset heavy which slows em down even more.

      Heres my real take.. I worked at Amazon -- I've seen the UI style guides, I know they're trying to up their game.

      But from what I saw Amazon has alot of SDEs doing front-end work, and my anecdotal experience is that the strong UX product engineers tend to chose to work at other companies on more attractive products. As a consquence many interfaces have really shitty UX - or there are too many teams working on a product (eg: Alexa) and the experience is incoherent.

      people working at blizzard obviously have no idea what UX is anyway. People who complain about amazon UI have obviously no idea what the fuck they are talking about
