They are | certainly more than a little campy at times, but they're a way | to set a vision for what you want the world see when the | product is debuted. There's one of these for arguably every | single AWS service ever. | | The external and internal FAQ components are also there, and | most of the normal qs (What will they most like/dislike) are | present in this one. Though I will say that some of his answers | wouldn't pass muster, like for "What will customers most | dislike about the launch of A-Cloud?". FAQ answers aren't meant | to be puffery, and a better one might comment on how this would | introduce some temporary overhead that wouldn't be providing | value to the customers who didn't care about the Amazon/AWS | relationship. | whoevercares wrote: | PR/FAQ might be the only thing I'd love to borrow from Amazon | process wise | gtirloni wrote: | If I had quit for the reasons that he quit Amazon, I wouldn't | have the stomach to continue worrying about it. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-06-22 23:00 UTC)
