[Thread] Former exec describes Amazon's transition from Sun to HP/Linux servers in early 2000s, that risked bankrupting the company and laid foundations for AWS

Dan Rose / @danrose999 : Tweets: @raifshareef_ , @corry_wang , @det_conan_kudo , @jan_eeckhout , and @ericdungan Tweets: Raif Shareef / @raifshareef_ : “The best companies look at every challenge as an opportunity and engrave that mindset into their culture.” Interesting read. Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Whatever decisions and policies made here in Maldives are shortsighted. https://twitter.com/... Corry Wang / @corry_wang : 1/ Thoughts on the Myth of the “First Mover” This thread by @danrose stirred something I've been thinking about for a while - the myth of first mover advantage To this day, most people assume Amazon Web Services was the first cloud computing service. This isn't quite true https://twitter.com/... Neal Gompa / @det_conan_kudo : Cool thread on the rise of Linux at Amazon/AWS! https://twitter.com/... Jan Eeckhout / @jan_eeckhout : Interesting story how the growth of Tech was all about early investment and economies of scale https://twitter.com/... @ericdungan : @QuinnyPig @awscloud For the geekier, post on how Amazon moved to Linux operating system. Includes info that AWS came about due to over capacity required during Nov-Dec holiday busy period https://twitter.com/...
