[text] Will Ye 3rd Engineering Cohere Follow 17h Edited Back when worked at Amazon as a software engineer the CRAZIEST thing happened to me. Heres the story… I was working from home with my girlfriend at the time when suddenly get an urgent ping from my coworker Our service is experiencing a SEV 2 We need all hands on deck Uh oh our teams application has gone down However as scrambled to figure out how to fix the issue smelled something burning from another room and heard a fire alarm go off. Will Theres a fire Help heard my girlfriend shout. Now was stuck in a conundrum restore a critical Amazon service or put out the fire in my apartment It was at that time remembered Amazons famous leadership principle Customer Obsession. There are customers who depend on my teams application I cant let them down So ignored the fire and my girlfriends pleas and started debugging the production issue. But all of a sudden the smoke in my apartment cleared and the fire alarm fell silent. My girlfriend walked into the room and to my astonishment peeled off a wig and revealed herself to be Jeff Bezos himself Im proud of you for being obsessed with our customers he said and gave me a 5 Amazon gift card. He then leaped out of my window and hopped into a waiting Amazon Prime delivery van that quickly peeled away. Even though no longer work at Amazon Im so grateful for these experiences that taught me lessons Ill never forget. Agree
