    Amazon was the first to figure out that a .5 second delay in page loading would run customers off.

    Amazon was the first to realize a “no questions asked” return policy was what customer’s required.

    Amazon was the first to realize that shipping times were holding other vendors back.

    AWS… ah never mind. That one’s too big for a lemmy post.

    So yeah, Bezos is a dumbfuck. 🙄

      Do you also think Bill Gates made Windows?

      AWS for instance is quite famously the brainchild of then Amazon CTO Allan Vermeulen, not Jeff Bezos.

      Bezos is sure, the engineers solved all the problems you listed. The table that doubled their productivity and led to all of these solutions Amazon solved was brought by another person as well!
