adversarial_example, Some thoughts while reading https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/why-aws-might-be-the-next-backbone-provider (by @Quinnypig)
A late-to-market strategy for higher-level offerings at #aws might've seemed wise initially...
- UX/DX products don't have much of an IP "moat" -- AWS can take a wait-and-see approach and then steal market share with a cheap, tightly-integrated clone
- high-level products create drag, org overhead
- top-of-the-stack has more risk & churn, and product mistakes are expensive for AWS because they don't deprecate anything
