AWS has had this reputation for over a decade. Every former AWS (including poached not fired) has relayed to me a verson of this.

Every once in a while (~1:12) you get one that sounds like a Mormon missionary praising how its not that way and AWS is perfect.

but that are eminently employable

This is what always stood out to me. Founders talk about the risks they take as their major legitimizing force. But what risk? They’re the types who can (mostly) skip an interview and go direct into a six figure job - because of the sales and founder networks they develop.

Startup founders with no risk doesnt sound like a recipe for great companies.
