Prime Meltdown: The Amazon Engineer's Memo

Host Emily Laird breaks down Amazon’s outage week, where one stale wiki, one overconfident AI tool, and one very human decision turned into a retail-scale faceplant. This episode slices through the hype and panic to show the real danger of AI-assisted engineering: not evil robots, just bad process moving at lightspeed. It is a sharp look at brittle systems, misplaced trust, and why “move fast” sounds a lot less sexy when the checkout page is on fire. Think less Terminator, more The Office with production access.
