I asked a buddy that works at Amazon about the outage and he pointed me to this article.

I know quite a few people who currently work there and pretty much all of them are trying to leave.

A person I know (and don’t particularly like) created a start up on this idea a couple of years ago already. It’s creepy AF.

It has now been officially confirmed that he is in fact dead.
