Bezos built AWS like Hadrian built a wall; both ordered that something be done, and it was left to tens of thousands of others to implement it. If you want to credit them with a lone vision, that’s fine if a bit unlikely given the reality of advisors and boards, but let’s not buy into the level of myth making required to say they built things.

I think that Bezos literally wrote every line of code and assembled every atom on the servers hosting the api. That’s how I intetpreted Yegge’s post and why I think Bezos built AWS.

    The Bezos-as-Demiurge theory, or “Gnostic Amazon” theory? I like it.
