I know a few SWEs at companies like Google, FB, Airbnb. One is a concert pianist that played at Carnegie Hall when he was like 10 (Google). One is a gymnast and cheerleader at a top engineering school (FB). One is training for the Olympics in Kenya (FB). One is an astrophysicist who got a Google offer without taking any CS classes (Google). One is an intern that has a pilots license (FB). All of them are traditionally attractive.

Meanwhile everyone at Amazon that I know is pretty plain, most went to state schools not known for CS, most came from boring places and have basic hobbies like hiking. Is there a reason for this? Do you know any exceptional people at Amazon?
