ecshafer commented on Product and design are the new bottlenecks jampa.dev/p/the-rise-of-o... · Posted by u/jampa
> In most teams, coding - reading, writing, and debugging code - used to be the part that took engineers the most time, but that is no longer the bottleneck.
Do most engineers find this to be true? For me the balance switched within a few years of being a senior (nearly a decade ago). Writing code is easy, negotiating over what code to write takes time.
I have found it to really depend on the company. Large companies, there is a ton of time spent on architecture reviews, paperwork, design, hitting new library updates, etc. That work is on seniors, then mid levels do a lot of the actual coding (at least in my experience).
But I have worked in some areas that its not like that. What we are building is decided pretty quick, but the implementation takes a month of two.

Question: does Amazon's retail business matter for analysts at all? It drives the majority of revenue for the company but a much, much smaller amount of profit. Does Wall Street care about Amazon's core business one iota?
The margins on tech/cloud are just so astronomically higher than retail. Places like Walmart or Costco are fighting for <5% profit margins, IIRC its closer to 2%. Quick search says AWS has about a 35% profit margin and about 50-60% of the operating profit of amazon but 17% of the Revenue. With those numbers it makes sense to focus on AWS.
IMO AWS should be spun out as a separate company.

Funny that this and Opus 4.6 released within minutes of each other. Each showing similar score improvements. Each claiming to be revolutionary.
