PAM debacle (17Q4) in Device Econ is a counter example.

And that wasn’t even a mistake the SDEs made — they were punished for the economists being reckless and subsequently bullied out of the company, despite the SDEs trying to raise the alarm the whole time.




Is that devices as in digital/alexa land? Never had too much overlap there. AWS and CDO were discrete for incident and problem management after ‘14 or soz


Yeah — my point was Amazon is very large and standards vary. I won’t pretend I know the whole picture, but I’ve seen retaliation against SDEs multiple times.

I’ve heard mixed things about CDO, positive things about AWS, but where I worked in Devices and FinTech were both wild… to the point FinTech (circa 2020) didn’t even use the PRFAQ/6-pager methodology. Much to the surprise of people in CDO I asked for advice.
