"On the Amazon river, he visited a beverage company called Groek bij Aker that gives young people economic futures so they don't abandon their villages for cities. He saw pink dolphins. It took him 21 years at Amazon to finally reach the river that shares the company's name."

Werner Vogels' Final Keynote: The Renaissance Developer Era

Werner Vogels ends his 14-year keynote streak by handing out printed newspapers and warning developers about "verification debt." His parting message: AI generates code faster than humans can understand it. The work is yours, not the tools.

Vogels actually seems like a thoughtful and caring guy. But the reporter never once asks how he squares that with the huge damage scAmazon has done and continues to do. Much of it thanks to his invention of AWS.

This reminds me of the stated goals of the Project Cybersyn team in Allende's Chile.

"The company launched Workspace Studio on December 3, 2025, putting AI agent creation directly inside Gmail, Docs, and Drive."

Well that tears it. When I'm back in the studio in the new calendar year, I'm going to prioritise finishing the deGoogling I started years ago. I have one GMail address I'm still actively using. Not for much longer.
