A Conversation with Werner Vogels 

37:00 AMAZON WORKING BACKWARDS METHOD 1. Create the press release: Describe in simple terms what you’re going to build 2. 20 most frequent questions: Answer in clear, simple terms (& iterate until it is very clear what you’re going to build) 3. UX Document: How are my customer going to interact with this 4. User manual: glossary, other terms (consistency) Don’t build more than that!

This is gold. Seriously! Y Combinator Rocks.

Thanks for doing these talks. Best content on RU-vid. Underrated.

first write six pages , second read them in 30 mins, third make a good discussion , very effective productting and meeting !

Wonder if the recession of 2008 accelerated AWS's adoption? Smaller companies trying to ramp up faster and bigger companies trying to save costs.

This was a great talk! Soaking everything up right now. Keep awesome content like this coming 👍🏾

Great interview and talented interviewer. This was super helpful in planning my startup.

Best wishes from Poland 🖐🖐

A gift for my birthday this video :)

Thank You.

Can someone put "michael blogs" talks about at 20:00 Couldn´t find it

hierarchy is wrong? but Jordan b Peterson talk about lobster and based their idea on hierarchy ? or hierarchy application is different in different field ? hierarchy is universal or not? or field or situation or problem specific? start from 16:20 he talks about small team and hierarchy and nature. lot of questions

'These other portions looked like startups themselves' love.

Operation complexity doesn’t scale linearly. It’s exponential!

Who does he say he replaced when he became the CTO? I can't quite make out the name 06:42 onwards

I understand tech..but from startup POV not very useful video
