with 89 days left in my #yeartolive, I thought I'd share some old #amazon stories. The first is about how the CTO told me I had caused "The Worst Bug in Amazon's History" (which I hope is no longer the case), and still got to keep my job. Straight out of school I got to join this amazing team which was working on converting a monolithic c binary which ran the whole website (compiler flags for different locales) into a Service Oriented Architecture (though that word didn't exist at the time).
