Gazpacho posted:the question was about Amazon as a short-term career move, and imo recognized skills are more valuable on a resume than a big company's name. like, I did rack up some service development experience there, but it means very little for finding a job elsewhere because nobody does a keyword search for codigo or apollo and a lot of that experience was about sustaining antipatterns Rejecting a team that does otherwise interesting work just because it has some use of internal tools seems too picky to me. Coral in particular is not going to take a lot of time or pain to learn, and doesn't mean you won't get other opportunities to add AWS keywords to your resume.

pram posted:the experience you get from giant companies is usually worthless because you end up working on some extremely specific horseshit that doesnt exist without insanely bloated budgets and entrenched fiefdoms Depends on the role. My first role was with a big company and I was in a position that had a huge amount of exposure to a large large chunk of the business, so every gently caress up was highly visible. Those first four years of my career taught me a lot about how to do and how not to do software engineering.

Tfw when you order same day shipping and then it says delayed for 3 days so you just order again for next day shipping and return the first poo poo later costing Amazon money bc they can't simply manage their in-progress shipping process.

echinopsis posted:he’s so rich idk I played a lot of transport tycoon and digging oceans was crazy expensive also I'm pretty sure the same logic there applies to amazon: build railways across your competitor's roads, corral their trucks into one bit of them by selling the roads from under them then drive a train through and blow up their trucks yes the delivery drivers died, but that's a small price for success

Coffee Jones posted:I heard there were teams working with Perl and HTML::Mason the perl/mason retail website is like the php monolith that facebook has (had?). its this thing that most sane people have migrated out of but still persists because of the thousands of random one-off pages that are hosted on it that nobody cares to migrate. there's a few teams who are using go, though most of the ones i've talked to are becoming less and less fans of it. rust is becoming more of a thing for a lot of teams who are writing systems code because it lets them get away from the hellscape that is c++ inside of amazon.

PHP is great, especially newer versions of it, but it's always been pretty good for when you need to output some HTML based on some POST data and MySQL stuff.

Best Bi Geek Squid posted:also, this thread reminded me of how bezos tried to steve jobs the firephone https://www.fastcompany.com/3039887/under-fire quote:“In meetings, all Jeff talked about was, ‘3-D, 3-D, 3-D!’ He had this childlike excitement about the feature and no one could understand why,” recalls a former engineering head who worked solely on Dynamic Perspective for years. “We poured surreal amounts of money into it, yet we all thought it had no value for the customer, which was the biggest irony. Whenever anyone asked why we were doing this, the answer was, ‘Because Jeff wants it.’ No one thought the feature justified the cost to the project. No one. Absolutely no one.” tech execs trying to be stebe jorbs and failing are some of my favorite tech buble stories
